Ok fwiw I've fixed up the arguments to kernfs_path_from_node, removed
the inlines, and moved the ns related decls after the others in cgroup.h
(i.e. done the easy stuff) in the 2015-12-09/cgroupns.3 branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/linux-security.git

I'll address the rest either after next week or, hopefully, when I get
a chance earlier.

If you wanted to take the branch as is, then I'll do the documentation
and pr_cont_kernfs_path() etc rewrite as separate patches, but I'll
assume you'd like to at least wait for doc rewrite.
