sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functions

Browse source

Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent -
__sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and
sysfs_make_dirent().  Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has
two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded.

This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the
following two.

* sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize
* sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or
			  associate with dentry

This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility.  This is
in preparation of object reference simplification.
