If the filename of a device symlink is too long, then the temporary filename may become invalid, and we fail to create symlink. The function `tempfn_random()` used in symlink_atomic_full() generates a safe temporary filename. Note that, thanks to the PR #23043, now only one worker can handle the same symlink simultaneously. Hence, the device ID based temporary filename is not necessary.
