Subject: bonding sysfs output

Hi,

Am I totally of the limit with the attached patch against
drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c?  I'd like to receive some comments,
as I'm not a kernel developer.

I propose it as a fix for trailing NULs and spaces like eg.

$ od -c /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves 
0000000   e   t   h   -   l   e   f   t       e   t   h   -   r   i   g
0000020   h   t      \n  \0
0000025

I'm afraid there're other problems with "++more++" handling, but let's
not consider those just yet.  Find the patch attached.  The first
hunks also renames buffer to buf, for consistency's shake.

The original version had varying behaviour for Not Applicable cases.
This patch also settles for empty files (not even a line feed) in
those cases, but I'm not sure about the general policy on this matter.

Regards,
Feri.
