Subject: [PATCH 2/7] kernfs: implement kernfs_walk_and_get()

From: Tejun Heo <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 13:52:46 -0500

Implement kernfs_walk_and_get() which is similar to
kernfs_find_and_get() but can walk a path instead of just a name.

v2: Use strlcpy() instead of strlen() + memcpy() as suggested by
    David.
