Summary:                    v1.11.x basename applet exit code inconsistent with
dirname's, previous versions
Description: 
The busybox 'basename' applet exits with a non-zero return code. This is
inconsistent with the behaviour of the dirname applet, with basename in
previous (1.10.x and earlier) busybox releases, and with coreutils.

The non-zero return code breaks scripts which expect `basename "$0" ||
echo "$0" | sed '[...]'` to cater for basename being absent on any given
system. Consequently, for example, grep 2.5.1a [latest known good
out-of-box version] builds in a chroot environment with busybox 1.10.4 as
basename, but not with 1.11.1.

Replace

full_write(STDOUT_FILENO, s, m) == (ssize_t)m
with
full_write(STDOUT_FILENO, s, m) != (ssize_t)m

in basename.c
