kernfs: handle null pointers while printing node name and path (2017-02-10 16:02:26 +0100)

driver core patches for 4.11-rc1

Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.

Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
secure way.

All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
issues.
