Turn dentry->d_name into an anon union of const struct qsrt (d_name
itself) and a writable alias (__d_name). With constification of some
struct qstr * arguments of functions that get &dentry->d_name passed
to them, that ends up with all modifications provably done only in
fs/dcache.c (and a fairly small part of it).
Any new places doing modifications will be easy to find - grep for
__d_name will suffice.
