Subject: [PATCH] lib/string_helpers: rename "esc" arg to "only"

To further clarify the purpose of the "esc" argument, rename it to
"only" to reflect that it is a limit, not a list of additional characters
to escape.

Suggested-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@...musvillemoes.dk>

This is expected to be applied on top of "lib/string_helpers: clarify esc
arg in string_escape_mem"
