Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 027/153] btrfs: send: return -ENAMETOOLONG when attempting a path that is too long

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit a77749b3e21813566cea050bbb3414ae74562eba ]

When attempting to build a too long path we are currently returning
-ENOMEM, which is very odd and misleading. So update fs_path_ensure_buf()
to return -ENAMETOOLONG instead. Also, while at it, move the WARN_ON()
into the if statement's expression, as it makes it clear what is being
tested and also has the effect of adding 'unlikely' to the statement,
which allows the compiler to generate better code as this condition is
never expected to happen.
