| |
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
Because of rename ordering problems we occassionally give false warnings about invalid sysfs operations, so implement a helper function for this common sysfs idiom.
This is a stripped down version of an earlier patch that also added sysfs_delete_link.
