#1331307 — [PATCH] let kernfs_name_locked & kernfs_name return size_t

Simple patch that changes the return value of kernfs_name_locked and kernfs_name
to size_t which alignes these functions with kernfs_path_len which also returns
size_t.

Patch was made against for-4.5 branch.
(As per Tejun's request, ccing gregkh@linuxfoundation.org and
 linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.)

They return the length of kn->parent or kn->name and should be aligned with
kernfs_path_len which also returns size_t.

Now if only you had test built this patch :(

Please be more careful, it just makes maintainers grumpy and annoyed
when you do that...

I actually did but forgot to commit the changes to include/linux/kernfs.h as
well.

Yes, sorry. I will do that. I'll resend with the appropriate changes
to kernfs.h included. Thanks for being patient.
