[RFC 1/2] kobject_set_name - error handling

[Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>]

o The following patch cleans up the kobject_set_name() users. Basically checking
  return code from kobject_set_name(). There can be error returns like -ENOMEM
  or -EFAULT from kobject_set_name() if the name length exceeds KOBJ_NAME_LEN.
