The use in drivers/base/node.c:node_read_meminfo() is highly
questionable. While currently not emitting wrong code, it depends on
len being 0 when passed in to sysfs_emit_at(). That argues it should
either be using sysfs_emit() or it should have a len += just in case
something gets prepended that makes len non zero.
