Jeff Dike 7eebe8a9c5 [PATCH] uml: umid cleanup
This patch cleans up the umid code:

- The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone.

- get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid.

- umid_is_random is gone since its users went away.

- Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough
  that printk is working.

- Error paths were cleaned up.

- Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error
  message rather than printing it themselves.  This eliminates the practice of
  passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot
  process we are.

- Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment
  explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect.

- Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to
  their native libc forms.

- snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often,
  replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.
