kobject: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in fill_kobj_path()

In kobject_get_path(), if kobj->name is changed between calls
get_kobj_path_length() and fill_kobj_path() and the length becomes
longer, then fill_kobj_path() will have an out-of-bounds bug.

The actual current problem occurs when the ixgbe probe.

In ixgbe_mii_bus_init(), if the length of netdev->dev.kobj.name
length becomes longer, out-of-bounds will occur.

This reproducer triggers that bug:

while:
do
    rmmod ixgbe
    sleep 0.5
    modprobe ixgbe
    sleep 0.5

When calling fill_kobj_path() to fill path, if the name length of
kobj becomes longer, return failure and retry. This fixes the problem.
