cgroup: make cgroup_path() and friends behave in the style of strlcpy()
cgroup_path() and friends used to format the path from the end and thus the resulting path usually didn't start at the start of the passed in buffer. Also, when the buffer was too small, the partial result was truncated from the head rather than tail and there was no way to tell how long the full path would be. These make the functions less robust and more awkward to use. With recent updates to kernfs_path(), cgroup_path() and friends can be made to behave in strlcpy() style. * cgroup_path(), cgroup_path_ns[_locked]() and task_cgroup_path() now always return the length of the full path. If buffer is too small, it contains nul terminated truncated output. * All users updated accordingly. v2: cgroup_path() usage in kernel/sched/debug.c converted.
