This happens when writing out strings because we always align the end to 64 bits. To avoid this we should always use an appropriately sized temporary buffer and ensure it is zeroed. Since d_path assembles the string from the end of the buffer backwards, we need to add 64 bits after the buffer to allow for alignment. We also need to copy arch_vma_name to the temporary buffer, because if we use it directly we may end up copying to userspace a number of bytes after the end of the string constant.
