[PATCH 1/8] kernfs: Add API to generate relative kernfs path

[serge . hallyn]

From: Aditya Kali <adityakali@xxxxxxxxxx>

The new function kernfs_path_from_node() generates and returns kernfs
path of a given kernfs_node relative to a given parent kernfs_node.

Changelog 20151125:
  - Fully-wing multilinecomments
  - Rework kernfs_path_from_node_locked() logic
  - Replace BUG_ONs with returning NULL
  - Use a const char* for /.. and precalculate its size
Changelog 20151130:
  - Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked comment
Changelog 20151208:
  - kernfs_node_distance:
    * Remove BUG_ON(NULL)s
    * Rename kernfs_node_distance to kernfs_depth
  - kernfs_common-ancestor:
    * Remove useless checks for depth == 0
    * Add check to ensure nodes are from same root
  - kernfs_path_from_node_locked:
    * Remove needless __must_check
    * Put p;len on its own decl line.
    * Fix wrong WARN_ONCE usage
