pinctrl: devicetree: Avoid taking direct reference to device name string

When populating the pinctrl mapping table entries for a device, the
'dev_name' field for each entry is initialised to point directly at the
string returned by 'dev_name()' for the device and subsequently used by
'create_pinctrl()' when looking up the mappings for the device being
probed.

This is unreliable in the presence of calls to 'dev_set_name()', which may
reallocate the device name string leaving the pinctrl mappings with a
dangling reference. This then leads to a use-after-free every time the
name is dereferenced by a device probe:

  | BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in strcmp+0x20/0x64
  | Read of size 1 at addr 13ffffc153494b00 by task modprobe/590
  | Pointer tag: [13], memory tag: [fe]
  |
  | Call trace:
  |  __kasan_report+0x16c/0x1dc
  |  kasan_report+0x10/0x18
  |  check_memory_region
  |  __hwasan_load1_noabort+0x4c/0x54

  |  really_probe+0x1c8/0x9a4
  |  driver_probe_device+0x120/0x1d8

Follow the example of sysfs, and duplicate the device name string before
stashing it away in the pinctrl mapping entries.
