We can use sysfs attributes with an extra parameter for dmi id
attributes. This makes it possible to use the same callback function
for all attributes, reducing the binary size significantly (-18% on
x86_64.)

With the previous sysfs_add_one() update, there is only one user of
the return value of sysfs_addrm_finish() and the user can switch to
testing @sd easily.  Make sysfs_addrm_finish() return void for cleaner
semantics as suggested by Satyam Sharma.

This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

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.

Thanks to Kay for the idea to do this.

A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
directly.  This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
Use the proper accessor function instead.

get_bus() should not be globally visable as it is not used by anything

The kernel creates a process for every event that is send, even when
there is no binary it could execute.  We are needlessly creating around
200-300 failing processes during early bootup, until we have the chance
to disable it from userspace.

This change allows us to disable /sbin/hotplug entirely, if you want to,
by setting UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" in the kernel config.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
