[PATCH 3/8] sysfs: chain symlinks to their targets

[Tejun Heo]

Add sd->s_dir.links and sd->s_link.next and chain symlinks to their
targets.  This will be used to implement auto-removal and auto-rename
of symlinks.

Symlinks created with kobject-based sysfs_create_symlink() won't be
chained to keep backward compatibility.
