Eric W. Biederman 832b6af198 sysfs: Propagate renames to the vfs on demand
By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for
a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed,
and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original
dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed.  I can
show the results of renames correctly without having to
update the dcache during the directory rename.

This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot
of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with
a lot of now unnecesary helper code.
