Subject: [PATCH 2/4] lib/vsprintf.c: Make %p{D,d} mean as much components as possible

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

We have '%pD'(no digit following) for printing a filename. It may not be
perfect (by default it only prints one component.

%pD4 should be more than good enough, but we should make plain "%pD" mean
"as much of the path that is reasonable" rather than "as few components as
possible" (ie 1).
