Subject[PATCH 3/3] sysfs: allow creating symlinks from untagged to tagged directories
Date
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Supporting symlinks from untagged to tagged directories is reasonable,
and needed to support CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. So don't fail a prior
allowing that case to work.
