Fix user display name permission check

Drew Blessing requested to merge dblessing_unconfirmed_profile_fix into master

What does this MR do?

Fix for a bug in !48271 (merged), part of #29133 (closed).

The current_user and user were swapped in the permission check for the UsersHelper#user_display_name method, resulting in authenticated users seeing an unconfirmed user's full name on the profile page.

This issue would have been caught if I had the authenticated user branch of the feature spec, which I've now added. Whoops!

This change does not include a changelog since it falls under the exception:

A fix for a regression introduced and then fixed in the same release (i.e., fixing a bug introduced during a monthly release candidate) should not have a changelog entry.

Screenshots (strongly suggested)
