Fix lock-ordering violation in Create by logging BaseName instead of FullName.
Dirent.FullName takes the global renameMu, but can be called during Create, which itself takes dirent.mu and dirent.dirMu, which is a lock-order violation: Dirent.Create d.dirMu.Lock d.mu.Lock Inode.Create gofer.inodeOperations.Create gofer.NewFile Dirent.FullName d.renameMu.RLock We only use the FullName here for logging, and in this case we can get by with logging only the BaseName. A `BaseName` method was added to Dirent, which simply returns the name, taking d.parent.mu as required. In the Create pathway, we can't call d.BaseName() because taking d.parent.mu after d.mu violates the lock order. But we already know the base name of the file we just created, so that's OK. In the Open/GetFile pathway, we are free to call d.BaseName() because the other dirent locks are not held. PiperOrigin-RevId: 205112278 Change-Id: Ib45c734081aecc9b225249a65fa8093eb4995f10
