Subject: string: introduce helper to get base file name from given path
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b18888ab256f05626193be955a7a03f01d676f8c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

string: introduce helper to get base file name from given path

There are several places in the kernel that use functionality like
basename(3) with the exception: in case of '/foo/bar/' we expect to get an
empty string.  Let's do it common helper for them.
