Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct kobject' from 256 to 244 bytes.
This structure is often included in some other structures. So these other
structures will also benefit from this 8 bytes saving.
This is especially nice for structure like 'cma_kobject' or 'class_dir'
that are now 256 bytes long. When they are kzalloc()'ed, 256 bytes are
allocated, instead of 512.

Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.
There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

The function kobject_create() is only used by one caller,
kobject_create_and_add(), no other driver uses it, nor is exported to
other modules.
However it's still exported in kobject.h, and can sometimes confuse
users of kobject.h.
Since all users should call kobject_create_and_add(), or if extra
attributes are needed, should alloc the memory manually then call
kobject_init_and_add().

SBS battery driver exposes 32 power supply properties now,
which will result in uevent failure on (un)plugging the
battery. Other drivers (e.g. bq27xxx) are also coming close
to this limit, so increase it.

kobj_type currently uses a list of individual attributes to store
default attributes. Attribute groups are more flexible than a list of
attributes because groups provide support for attribute visibility. So,
add support for default attribute groups to kobj_type.
In future patches, the existing uses of kobj_type’s attribute list will
be converted to attribute groups. When that is complete, kobj_type’s
attribute list, “default_attrs”, will be removed.

Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root,
however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces.
For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the
container's root and not global root.
This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects
ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining
get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to
retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

For devices with a class, we create a "glue" directory between
the parent device and the new device with the class name.
This directory is never "explicitely" removed when empty however,
this is left to the implicit sysfs removal done by kobject_release()
when the object loses its last reference via kobject_put().
This is problematic because as long as it's not been removed from
sysfs, it is still present in the class kset and in sysfs directory
structure.
The presence in the class kset exposes a use after free bug fixed
by the previous patch, but the presence in sysfs means that until
the kobject is released, which can take a while (especially with
kobject debugging), any attempt at re-creating such as binding a
new device for that class/parent pair, will result in a sysfs
duplicate file name error.
This fixes it by instead doing an explicit kobject_del() when
the glue dir is empty, by keeping track of the number of
child devices of the gluedir.
This is made easy by the fact that all glue dir operations are
done with a global mutex, and there's already a function
(cleanup_glue_dir) called in all the right places taking that
mutex that can be enhanced for this. It appears that this was
in fact the intent of the function, but the implementation was
wrong.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all kobject files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the kobject files files with the correct SPDX license identifier
based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a
legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler
plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.
