79e23d577b hexdump: Make test data really const
The test data arrays, containing pointers to test strings, are never
modified, so they can be const, too.  Hence mark them "const" and
"__initconst".

This moves 28 pointers from ".init.data" to ".init.rodata".

17974c054d hexdump: avoid warning in test function
The test_data_1_le[] array is a const array of const char *.  To avoid
dropping any const information, we need to use "const char * const *",
not just "const char **".

I'm not sure why the different test arrays end up having different
const'ness, but let's make the pointer we use to traverse them as const
as possible, since we modify neither the array of pointers _or_ the
pointers we find in the array.

c79574abe2 lib/test-hexdump.c: fix initconst confusion
const char *...[] is not const, but an array of pointer to const.  So
these arrays cannot be __initconst, but must be __initdata

This fixes section conflicts with LTO.

114fc1afb2 hexdump: make it return number of bytes placed in buffer
This patch makes hexdump return the number of bytes placed in the buffer
excluding trailing NUL.  In the case of overflow it returns the desired
amount of bytes to produce the entire dump.  Thus, it mimics snprintf().

This will be useful for users that would like to repeat with a bigger
buffer.

64d1d77a44 hexdump: introduce test suite
Test different scenarios of function calls located in lib/hexdump.c.

Currently hex_dump_to_buffer() is only tested and test data is provided
for little endian CPUs.
