Re: [PATCH v7 0/5] make '%pD' print the full path of file

Background
==========
Linus suggested printing the full path of file instead of printing
the components as '%pd'.

Typically, there is no need for printk specifiers to take any real locks
(ie mount_lock or rename_lock). So I introduce a new helper
d_path_unsafe() which is similar to d_path() except it doesn't take any
seqlock/spinlock.

TODO
====
I plan to do the followup work after '%pD' behavior is changed.
- s390/hmcdrv: remove the redundant directory path in printing string.
- fs/iomap: simplify the iomap_swapfile_fail() with '%pD'.
- simplify the string printing when file_path() is invoked(in some
  cases, not all).
- change the previous '%pD[2,3,4]' to '%pD'

  lib/vsprintf.c: make '%pD' print the full path of file
  lib/test_printf.c: add test cases for '%pD'

The patchset is ready for linux-next from my POV.

I could take it via printk tree if Al provides Acks for the
first two "d_path: *: patches.

Or Al could take it via his tree if he would prefer to do so.
