x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time! This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested. akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees. [akpm: remove the ifdef for now] Signed-off-by: Parag Warudkar <parag.lkml@gmail.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
