Subject: seq_file: return a negative error code when seq_path_root() fails.
From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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().
