[RFC 3/6] sysfs backing store ver 0.5

[Maneesh Soni]

=> changes in version 0.5
  o Cahnges to accomodate latest sysfs changes basically using
    sysfs_get_kobject() while opening sysfs files.

=> changes in version 0.4
  o Made necessary changes for checking DCACHE_SYSFS_CONNECTED flag while
    opening the sysfs file in check_perm() and a few changes in variable names

=> changes in version 0.3
  o Nil, just re-diffed

=> changes in version 0.2
  o Nil, just re-diffed

=> Changes:
  o Removed the extra kobject_get from sysfs_release() 

=======================================================
o sysfs_create_file() will just link a new sysfs_dirent() structure representing
  the attribute file to the kobject's s_children list.

o in sysfs_create() we take extra ref. only for dentries corresponding to
  non-regular files or in other words pin only non-leaf dentries.
