[PATCH] Return a negative error code when seq_path_root() fails.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Tue Jun 02 2009 - 21:36:17 EST


seq_path_root() is returning a return value of successful __d_path()
instead of returning a negative value when mangle_path() failed.

This is not a bug so far because nobody is using return value of
seq_path_root().
