VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
This removes a number of silly games around strncpy_from_user() in do_getname(), and removes that helper function entirely. We instead make getname_flags() just use strncpy_from_user() properly directly. Removing the wrapper function simplifies things noticeably, mostly because we no longer play the unnecessary games with segments (x86 strncpy_from_user() no longer needs the hack), but also because the empty path handling is just much more obvious. The return value of "strncpy_to_user()" is much more obvious than checking an odd error return case from do_getname(). [ non-x86 architectures were notified of this change several weeks ago, since it is possible that they have copied the old broken x86 strncpy_from_user. But nobody reacted, so ..
