When I included the "empty" function for sysfs_create_groups() when
CONFIG_SYSFS=n, I forgot to return a value for it, so things blew up the
build. This patch fixes that, stupid me.

This creates the macro __ATTR_WO() for write-only attributes, instead of
having to "open define" them.

Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do.
Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this. The
driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the
network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now
before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.

As long as we are cleaning up sysfs coding style issues, don't forget
the main sysfs.h file, so fix up the space issues there as well.

These functions are being open-coded in 3 different places in the driver
core, and other driver subsystems will want to start doing this as well,
so move it to the sysfs core to keep it all in one place, where we know
it is written properly.

__BIN_ATTR_RW() wasn't passing in the _size field. As it would break
the build if this macro was ever used, it's obvious no one had ever
tried to use it before.
Fix it so that it can be used.

groups should be able to support binary attributes, just like it
supports "normal" attributes. This lets us only handle one type of
structure, groups, throughout the driver core and subsystems, making
binary attributes a "full fledged" part of the driver model, and not
something just "tacked on".

The most convenient way to expose ACPI power resources lists of a
device is to put symbolic links to sysfs directories representing
those resources into special attribute groups in the device's sysfs
directory. For this purpose, it is necessary to be able to add
symbolic links to attribute groups.
For this reason, add sysfs helper functions for adding/removing
symbolic links to/from attribute groups, sysfs_add_link_to_group()
and sysfs_remove_link_from_group(), respectively.
This change set includes a build fix from David Rientjes.

This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report. The
problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the
tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs.
This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that
unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a
descendant device. Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and
reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe.
This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a
nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that
here. There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal
occurs in the context of a parent attribute method.
As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute
telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a
sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute. The readlock is still
acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not
complain about impossible deadlock scenarios.
Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute
structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set. The three offending
attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we
currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the
implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL.
NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning
we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This
multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed)
in the code.
Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged
file in a tagged directory.
To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs.
Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged
file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace.
Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs
directories.
Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.
Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.
This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.
So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.
