Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of
full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing
of the full path string for each node.

<title>block: introduce new block status code type</title>

<id>2a842acab109f40f0d7d10b38e9ca88390628996</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Fix following warnings:
openprom.c:510:2: warning: 'tmp' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
openprom.c:503:3: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

openprom.c:422:7: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Fixed by introducing PTR_ERR etc.
This simplified the code as a nice side effect.

orderly_poweroff() unconditionally returns 0, so remove the dead code that
checks the return value.

A future patch will change the return type to void.
