Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.
- refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
duplication:
o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
the two callers
o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
- lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
- added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
the latter ever.

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

Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it. Make

While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.
This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.
