OK. I understand. Let us do not use the helper function in fs/namei.c,
just use the following implementation for other callers:

static inline bool is_dot_or_dotdot(const unsigned char *name, size_t len)
{
         if (len >= 1 && unlikely(name[0] == '.')) {
                 if (len < 2 || (len == 2 && name[1] == '.'))
                         return true;
         }

         return false;
}

Special thanks for Matthew, Darrick, Al and Eric.
If you have any more suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks,

Tiezhu Yang
