Currently we find the dentry to drop by looking at sd->s_dentry.
We can just as easily accomplish the same task by looking up the
sysfs inode and finding all of the dentries from there, with the
added bonus that we don't need to play with the sysfs_assoc_lock.

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.

tj: offset marker for EOF is changed from UINT_MAX to INT_MAX to avoid
    overflow in case offset is 32bit.

Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache
on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively
wrong.  It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the
dcache before trying to free them.

At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs.

No one uses sysdev_drivers. Because no one calls sysdev_driver_register

sysdev_class.

So this patch removes global sysdev_drivers list and update comments

When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required
to call link/unlink separately.  It was for two reasons - code looked
like that before sysfs_addrm_cxt conversion and to avoid looping
through parent_sd->children list twice during removal.

Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it.  Make
sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly.
This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient.  This change
doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

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
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level.  So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from
commit b592fcfe is now gone.

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for
the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the
array.  That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to
reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name.

This patch removes the static array, potentially saving a lot of memory
as the majority of kobjects do not have a very long name.
