Why do you need to re-casefold str on every call to ovl_strcmp?  Isn't
it done in a loop while walking the rbtree with a constant "str" (i.e.,
the name being added, see ovl_cache_entry_find)? Can't you do it once,
outside of ovl_strcmp? This way you don't repeatedly allocate/free
memory for each node of the tree (as Viro mentioned), and you don't have
to deal with kmalloc failures here.

This should check IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_UNICODE) so it can be
compiled out by anyone doing CONFIG_UNICODE=n

utf8_casefold can fail, as you know and checked.  But if it does, a
negative cf_len is passed to strncmp and cast to a very high
value.

utf8_casefold ensures the string is NULL-terminated on success already.
