Subject: [PATCH cgroup/for-4.9] cpuset: fix error error handling regression
 in proc_cpuset_show()

4c737b41de7f ("cgroup: make cgroup_path() and friends behave in the
style of strlcpy()") botched the conversion of proc_cpuset_show() and
broke its error handling.  It made the function return 0 on failures
and fail to handle error returns from cgroup_path_ns().  Fix it.

Hello, Dan.

Does this make the warning go away?

Thanks.
