efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive
It makes no sense to treat the following filenames as unique, VarName-abcdefab-abcd-abcd-abcd-abcdefabcdef VarName-ABCDEFAB-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCDEFABCDEF VarName-ABcDEfAB-ABcD-ABcD-ABcD-ABcDEfABcDEf VarName-aBcDEfAB-aBcD-aBcD-aBcD-aBcDEfaBcDEf ... etc ... since the guid will be converted into a binary representation, which has no case. Roll our own dentry operations so that we can treat the variable name part of filenames ("VarName" in the above example) as case-sensitive, but the guid portion as case-insensitive. That way, efivarfs will refuse to create the above files if any one already exists.
