There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now
that we have kobj_attributes.
We also rename kernel_kset to kernel_kobj to catch all users of this
symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning.

We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so
dynamically create the kobject and use it.

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Hi,
This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a
non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times
when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless
warnings.
Rationale:
- It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and
you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or
assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a
layering violation).
- Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this
silly.

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.
Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

debugfs: implement symbolic links
Implement a new function debugfs_create_symlink() which can be used
to create symbolic links in debugfs. This function can be useful
for people moving functionality from /proc to debugfs (e.g. the
gcov-kernel patch).

Fix file and directory removal in debugfs. Add inotify support for file removal.
The following scenario :
create dir a
create dir a/b
cd a/b (some process goes in cwd a/b)
rmdir a/b
rmdir a
fails due to the fact that "a" appears to be non empty. It is because
the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for
it to be deleted when it has no users.
The nice side-effect of this fix is that it calls the file removal
notification.

Correct dentry count to handle creation errors.
This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal :
lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then,
the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated
with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns
an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference
counter, therefore making file removal impossible.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
