Seems logical.  But as CMA_MAX_NAME=64, this could result in alteration
of the output: less truncation of the original name.

Is it the case that the output is never >16 chars anyway?  If so, we'll
be OK.

Well that's my point.  With this patch the output is changed and this
might break userspace code which expects the truncation.

That should be OK as there are no guarantees with debugfs interfaces. 
I added this as the patch's changelog:


: Avoids truncating the debugfs output to 16 chars.  Potentially alters
: the userspace output, but this is a debugfs interface and there are no
: stability guarantees.
