Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex.
This means that it cannot be called in atomic context.
sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir)
so it can block on low memory.
In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from
atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I
could be in the writeout path for freeing memory.
So:
- export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put
and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to
notify on and hold it in an md structure.
- split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent
can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is
when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case
the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to
generate bogus backtrace and errors.
Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the
remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by
shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative
dentry for sysfs. However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus
created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist.
Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure. This

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject.
Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on
kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and
sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while
there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and
sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still
sleeping on it.
This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent.
Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1
and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is
meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file
and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is
a saner implementation.
This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of
kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.

At some point someone wrote sysfs_readdir to insert a cursor
into the list of sysfs_dirents to ensure that sysfs_readdir would
restart properly. That works but it is complex code and tends
to be expensive.
The same effect can be achieved by keeping the sysfs_dirents in
inode order and using the inode number as the f_pos. Then
when we restart we just have to find the first dirent whose inode
number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted
to return.
Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of
all of the mysterious checks for sysfs_type(sd) != 0. Which
were nonbovious checks to see if a cursor was in a directory list.

When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required

Some sysfs operations require dentry and inode. sysfs_get_dentry()
looks up and gets dentry for the specified sysfs_dirent. It finds the
first ancestor with dentry attached and starts looking up dentries
from there.
Looking up from the nearest ancestor is necessary to support shadowed
directories because we can't reliably lookup dentry for one of the
shadows. Dentries for each shadow will be pinned in memory such that
they can serve as the starting point for dentry lookup.

The original add/remove code had the following problems.
* parent's timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation. this is
incorrect with reclaimable files.
* updating parent's timestamps isn't synchronized.
* parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won't be
true once directory dentries are made reclaimable.
This patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above
problems. Add/removal are done in the following steps.
1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other
resources.
2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd. linking the new sd into the
children list is caller's responsibility.
2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd. unlinking the sd from the
children list is caller's responsibility.
3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up.
Steps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times.
Parent's inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start(). If available
(always at the moment), it's pinned and nlink is updated as sd's are
added and removed. Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has
been added or removed. If parent's inode is not available during
start, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till
add/remove is complete.
All the complexity is contained inside the helper functions.
Especially, dentry/inode handling is properly hidden from the rest of
sysfs which now mostly operate on sysfs_dirents. As an added bonus,
codes which use these helpers to add and remove sysfs_dirents are now
more structured and simpler.
