Previously, Fgenerate_new_buffer_name couldn't cause GC, but with this
change it can, because the modified code calls funcall.  For the same
reason, it could now QUIT, where it previously couldn't.  So this
change would need to be accompanied by auditing the C callers of
Fgenerate_new_buffer_name, to make sure they don't use any code that
doesn't expect any of these 2 events to happen (such as 'char *'
pointers lying around, which might become invalid after GC).
