I have added a new requirement to the external sysfs interface
that dynamically allocated sysfs attributes must call sysfs_attr_init
if lockdep is enabled. For the time being callying sysfs_attr_init
is only mandatory if lockdep is enabled, so we can live with a few
unconverted instances until we find them all. As this is part of
the public interface of sysfs it is a good idea to document these
pseudo functions so someone inspeciting the code can find out
what has happened.

These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on
my test machine. Fix them to use sysfs_attr_init or
sysfs_bin_attr_init as appropriate. It simply requires
making a sysfs attribute present to see this. So this
is a little bit tedious but otherwise not too bad.

Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.
There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.
This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

If we exclude directories and symlinks from the set of sysfs
dirents where we need active references we are left with
sysfs attributes (binary or not).
- Tweak sysfs_deactivate to only do something on attributes
- Move lockdep initialization into sysfs_file_add_mode to
limit it to just attributes.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

The problem is that kobject_add_internal() first adds a kobject to the
kset and then try to create sysfs directory for it. If the creation
fails, it remove the kobject from the kset. get_device_parent()
accesses class_dirs kset while only holding class_dirs.list_lock to
see whether the cuse class dir exists. But when it exists, it may not
have finished initialization yet or may fail and get removed soon. In
the above case, the former happened so the second one ends up trying
to create subdirectory under NULL sysfs_dirent.
Fix it by grabbing a mutex in get_device_parent().
