Re: [PATCH v2] chdir-notify.h: Removed unused param 'name'

The `name` parameter in `chdir_notify_entry` was only ever used by
chdir_notify_reparent() to produce trace output. That function was
removed in 5bf546755c (chdir-notify: drop unused
`chdir_notify_reparent()`, 2026-06-25), which left `name` with no
remaining consumers.

Prior to that removal, most callers had already stopped passing a
meaningful name, switching to NULL in 1f43ff2c7e (refs: unregister
reference stores from "chdir_notify", 2026-06-25) and 0de2467e6c
(odb/source-packed: start converting to a proper `struct odb_source`,
2026-06-17).

Since no caller has populated `name` with real data for some time,
and its last consumer is gone, drop it from chdir_notify_register(),
chdir_notify_unregister(), and the callback signature to simplify
the API.

Thanks, this description summarizes the situation nicely.
