This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink
inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the
previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for
the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the
sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the
iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event
that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only
stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved
into one dynamically allocated field.

This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI
configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs
required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd
access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained
labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled
appropriately.

[sds:  Fixed compile-time warnings, coding style, and setting of inode security init flags.]

driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().

Renaming network devices to an already existing name is not
something we want sysfs to print a scary warning for, since the
callers can deal with this correctly. So let's introduce
sysfs_create_link_nowarn() which gets rid of the common warning.

Allow callers of sysfs_remove_link() to pass a NULL kobj, in which case
sysfs_root will be used as the parent directory. This allows us to tear down
top level symlinks created via sysfs_create_link(), which already has
similar handling of a NULL parent object.

Instead of walking from the source down to the root of sysfs, and back
to the target, we stop at the first directory the source and the target
share.

This link:
  /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-0:1.0/ep_81

pointed to:
  ../../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-0:1.0/usb_endpoint/usbdev2.1_ep81

now it just points to:
  usb_endpoint/usbdev1.1_ep81

Thanks to Denis Cheng for bringing this up, and sending the initial patch.

This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root
instead (which is what they are looking for).  It then
makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it
by accident.

The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code.

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-&gt;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.
