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.
