sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points.
commit 87d2846fcf88113fae2341da1ca9a71f0d916f2c upstream. Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a kobject. Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use them. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
