Subject[PATCH] fs: make d_path-like functions all have unsigned size
Date
When running static analysis tools to find where signed values could
potentially wrap the family of d_path() functions turn out to trigger a
lot of mess. In evaluating the code, all of these usages seem safe, but
pointer math is involved so if a negative number is ever somehow passed
into these functions, memory can be traversed backwards in ways not
intended.

Resolve all of the abuguity by just making "size" an unsigned value,
which takes the guesswork out of everything involved.
