[PATCH 1/2] make acpi_path_name() global

[Randy Dunlap <randy_d_dunlap-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/CA@public.gmane.org>]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy_d_dunlap-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/CA@public.gmane.org>

Make acpi_path_name() usable by everyone.
I need this for adding SATA suspend/resume ACPI support.

Note:
This function is now a memory allocator and callers should kfree()
the memory when done with it.  It doesn't seem safe to me to leave
it as returning a pointer to a static buffer (as it was in multiple
cloned copies) as we add callers to it.
