make acpi_path_name() global (v4)

From: Randy Dunlap <randy_d_dunlap-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/[email protected]>

Make acpi_path_name() usable by everyone.
I need this for adding SATA suspend/resume ACPI support.

v4: Fix enter/exit trace error noted by Matthew Wilcox.
v3: use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for acpi_path_name.
v2: use ACPI-CA calling convention for name buffer.

Hi--

You can drop this patch. With the changes wanted by everyone (except for Pat Mochel), this just makes acpi_path_name() be a synonym for acpi_get_name(), so I'll just use acpi_get_name() directly.
