Summary
"rm-style" system calls such as kern_frmdirat() and kern_funlinkat()
don't supply SAVENAME to preserve the pathname buffer for subsequent
vnode ops.  For unionfs this poses an issue because the pathname may
be needed for a relookup operation in unionfs_remove()/unionfs_rmdir().
Currently unionfs doesn't check for this case, leading to a panic on
DIAGNOSTIC kernels and use-after-free of cn_nameptr otherwise.

The unionfs node's stored buffer would suffice as a replacement for
cnp->cn_nameptr in some (but not all) cases, but it's cleaner to just
ensure that unionfs vnode ops always have a valid cn_nameptr by setting
SAVENAME in unionfs_lookup().

While here, do some light cleanup in unionfs_lookup() and assert that
HASBUF is always present in the relevant relookup calls.

I do have a question here:
Instead of taking this approach, would it be acceptable to simply change kern_frmdirat()/kern_funlinkat() to pass SAVENAME to namei()?
unionfs might of course be the only FS that would make use of the name buffer in those cases, but it seems like a straightforward change.

If that's not acceptable, then I have a similar (but less likely to be encountered) issue to fix in unionfs_remove(), where we try to resolve the upper/lower vnode for VSOCK vnodes.
That will be harder to fix because unionfs doesn't actually create unionfs_nodes for VSOCK vnodes, so there won't be a path readily available. But I also don't immediately see why unionfs needs to make that special case for VSOCK; we probably don't want unionfs copy-on-write behavior for sockets, but I don't see why we need to completely avoid allocating a unionfs_node for them, so maybe with some other refactoring that code can just go away.

I do not see why SAVENAME would be not acceptable? Why did you think that it could be?

You should be able to add the flag within the bowels of unionfs.

I thought adding SAVENAME in unionfs_lookup() might be frowned upon, based on the comment for NDVALIDATE():

/*
 * Validate the final state of ndp after the lookup.
 *
 * Historically filesystems were allowed to modify cn_flags. Most notably they
 * can add SAVENAME to the request, resulting in HASBUF and pushing subsequent
 * clean up to the consumer. In practice this seems to only concern != LOOKUP
 * operations.
 *
 * As a step towards stricter API contract this routine validates the state to
 * clean up. Note validation is a work in progress with the intent of becoming
 * stricter over time.
 */
#define NDMODIFYINGFLAGS (LOCKLEAF | LOCKPARENT | WANTPARENT | SAVENAME | SAVESTART | HASBUF)

It looks like I can get away with it for any nameiop besides LOOKUP, so if this is still OK to do then I'm fine doing that instead.
That might be more foolproof for unionfs since it would ensure a valid pathname buffer regardless of what the namei() caller supplied.

Just do it. The idea here is to not put unionfs-specific stuff outside of it if it can be helped.

Set SAVEBANE in unionfs_lookup() instead

That's an unrelated issue; I have a local fix for it (along with the ENOENT-on-mkdir issue) that I'll post after this one.
