Subject[PATCH]sysfs: Don't emit a warning when sysfs_rename_link() fails.
Hi Greg, hi Eric,

the recent sysfs tagged directory changes switched device_rename() to
sysfs_rename_link() - which is a good thing but AFAICS re-introduces
the scary warnings when a netdevice is renamed to something that
already exists (which I tried to fix with
36ce6dad6e3cb3f050ed41e0beac0070d2062b25).

The following patch switches sysfs_rename_link() to non-warning symlink
creation again. It is on top of the current driver core series.

sysfs: Don't emit a warning when sysfs_rename_link() fails.

From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>

sysfs_rename_link() will be printing a scary looking warning
if a link of the same name already exists. Callers of
device_rename() don't want to see this warning since they
already handle the failure themselves, so let's use the not
warning variant of sysfs_do_create_link().
