sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

/**

|
* System devices follow a slightly different driver model.
|
|
* They don't need to do dynammic driver binding, can't be probed,
|
|
* and don't reside on any type of peripheral bus.
|
|
* So, we represent and treat them a little differently.
|
|
*
|
|
* We still have a notion of a driver for a system device, because we still
|
|
* want to perform basic operations on these devices.
|
|
*
|
|
* We also support auxillary drivers binding to devices of a certain class.
|
|
*
|
|
* This allows configurable drivers to register themselves for devices of
|
|
* a certain type. And, it allows class definitions to reside in generic
|
|
* code while arch-specific code can register specific drivers.
|
|
*
|
|
* Auxillary drivers registered with a NULL cls are registered as drivers
|
|
* for all system devices, and get notification calls for each device.
