Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] lib/string_helpers et al.: Change return value of strreplace()

It's more convenient to have strreplace() to return the original
pointer. This will help users to make their code better.

The patch 1 kills the only user of the returned value of strreplace(),
Patch 2 converts the return value of strreplace(). And patch 3 shows
how it may be useful.That said, the series can be routed via fs tree,
with or without the last patch.

Andy Shevchenko (3):
  jbd2: Avoid printing out the boundary
  lib/string_helpers: Change returned value of the strreplace()
  kobject: Use return value of strreplace()
