sysfs: introduce [__]sysfs_remove()

Given a sysfs_dirent, there is no reason to have multiple versions of
removal functions. A function which removes the specified
sysfs_dirent and its descendants is enough.

This patch intorduces [__}sysfs_remove() which replaces all internal
variations of removal functions. This will be the only removal
function in the planned new sysfs_dirent based interface.

sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive

Currently, sysfs directory removal is inconsistent in that it would
remove any files directly under it but wouldn't recurse into
directories. Thanks to group subdirectories, this doesn't even match
with kobject boundaries. sysfs is in the process of being separated
out so that it can be used by multiple subsystems and we want to have
a consistent behavior - either removal of a sysfs_dirent should remove
every descendant entries or none instead of something inbetween.

This patch implements proper recursive removal in
__sysfs_remove_dir(). The function now walks its subtree in a
post-order walk to remove all descendants.

This is a behavior change but kobject / driver layer, which currently
is the only consumer, has already been updated to handle duplicate
removal attempts, so nothing should be broken after this change.

kobject: grab an extra reference on kobject->sd to allow duplicate deletes

sysfs currently has a rather weird behavior regarding removals. A
directory removal would delete all files directly under it but
wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent,
seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is
supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of
the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have
groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it
and require explicit deletions.

We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver
core and want a consistent behavior. A removal should delete either
only the specified node or everything under it. I think it is helpful
to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement
it.

Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be
deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor
gets removed before it. As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we
may end up with dangling pointer on descendants. This can be solved
by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject.

Acquire an extra reference on the associated sysfs_dirent on directory
creation and put it after removal.

sysfs: remove sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd

sysfs_addrm_start/finish() enclose sysfs_dirent additions and
deletions and sysfs_addrm_cxt is used to record information necessary
to finish the operations. Currently, sysfs_addrm_start() takes
@parent_sd, records it in sysfs_addrm_cxt, and assumes that all
operations in the block are performed under that @parent_sd.

This assumption has been fine until now but we want to make some
operations behave recursively and, while having @parent_sd recorded in
sysfs_addrm_cxt doesn't necessarily prevents that, it becomes
confusing.

This patch removes sysfs_addrm_cxt->parent_sd and makes
sysfs_add_one() take an explicit @parent_sd parameter. Note that
sysfs_remove_one() doesn't need the extra argument as its parent is
always known from the target @sd.

While at it, add __acquires/releases() notations to
sysfs_addrm_start/finish() respectively.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent()

The pre-existing sysfs interfaces which take explicit namespace
argument are weird in that they place the optional @ns in front of
@name which is contrary to the established convention. For example,
we end up forcing vast majority of sysfs_get_dirent() users to do
sysfs_get_dirent(parent, NULL, name), which is silly and error-prone
especially as @ns and @name may be interchanged without causing
compilation warning.

This renames sysfs_get_dirent() to sysfs_get_dirent_ns() and swap the
positions of @name and @ns, and sysfs_get_dirent() is now a wrapper
around sysfs_get_dirent_ns(). This makes confusions a lot less
likely.

There are other interfaces which take @ns before @name. They'll be
updated by following patches.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling

The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated
than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be
non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record
separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled.

If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can
simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock
assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value
across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or
not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged
children or not.

This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer
cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a
sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing
namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of
tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number
isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match.

This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which
will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace
sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check
in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace()
is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check
significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in
sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper
layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible
anyway.

sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory code

For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated
to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing*
which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations
is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling
back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the
namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates
what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers.

This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling
to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the
long term.

This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir()
and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively.
ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the
above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which
directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the
same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's
namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will
be used from another file in the following patches.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.
