1) lift NUL-termination into the callers 2) pass pointer to the end of buffer instead of that to beginning. (1) allows to simplify dentry_path() - we don't need to play silly games with restoring the leading / of "//deleted" after __dentry_path() would've overwritten it with NUL. We also do not need to check if (either) prepend() in there fails - if the buffer is not large enough, we'll end with negative buflen after prepend() and __dentry_path() will return the right value (ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG)) just fine.
