kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()


kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but
the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the
provided buffer.  This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and
requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care
about truncation.  In addition, the implementation can actully be
simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style.

* Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer
  with path.  If the buffer is not large enough, the output is
  truncated and terminated.

* kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling.  Make it a simple
  inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node().

* sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling.
  Updated accordingly.

* cgroup_path()'s use of kernfs_path() updated to retain the old
  behavior.
