Return value like you proposed, *dst is incremented by it.

Make this code a separate test, which actually still nomem, since you
have not enough memory in the destination buffer. What the problem to
check for proper return value and the last couple of characters written
to the destination buffer?

I've checked the other case, we may keep same style.

When your series will be ready (and actually I recommend to push first
patch apart from the rest since it's not related) I may do the update
for fs/proc/array.c.
