sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functions
Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent - __sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and sysfs_make_dirent(). Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded. This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the following two. * sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize * sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or associate with dentry This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility. This is in preparation of object reference simplification. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
