When class_dev_iter is initialized, the reference count for the subsys
private structure is incremented, but never decremented, causing a
memory leak over time. To resolve this, save off a pointer to the
internal structure into the class_dev_iter structure and then when the
iterator is finished, drop the reference count.

The add_dev and remove_dev callbacks in struct class_interface currently
pass in a pointer back to the class_interface structure that is calling
them, but none of the callback implementations actually use this pointer
as it is pointless (the structure is known, the driver passed it in in
the first place if it is really needed again.)
So clean this up and just remove the pointer from the callbacks and fix
up all callback functions.

Some classes (i.e. gpio), want to know if they have been registered or
not, and poke around in the class's internal structures to try to figure
this out. Because this is not really a good idea, provide a function
for classes to call to try to figure this out.
Note, this is racy as the state of the class could change at any moment
in time after the call is made, but as usually a class only wants to
know if it has been registered yet or not, it should be fairly safe to
use, and is just as safe as the previous "poke at the class internals"
check was.
Move the gpiolib code to use this function as proof that it works
properly.

There are a number of places in core.c that need access to the private
subsystem structure of struct class, so move them to use
class_to_subsys() instead of accessing it directly.
This requires exporting class_to_subsys() out of class.c, but keeping it
local to the driver core.

Now that class_to_subsys() can be used to get access to the internal
class private pointer, convert the remaining few places in class.c that
were accessing the pointer directly to use class_to_subsys() instead.
By doing this, the need for class_get() and class_put() goes away as no
one actually tries to increment the class structures anymore, only the
internal dynamic one.

Much like what was done in commit 273afac615ad ("driver core: bus:
implement bus_get/put() without the private pointer"), it is time to
move the driver core away from using the internal private pointer in
struct class in order to enable it to be always a constant and be placed
in read-only memory in the future.
First step in doing this is to create a helper function that turns a
'struct class' into 'struct subsys_private' called class_to_subsys().
class_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and
finds the matching one based on the pointer to the class itself. As
this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it
should not be noticable.
Implement class_get() and class_put() using this new helper function.

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
class to be moved to read-only memory.
While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute
as constant as it can not be modified. The bonding code still uses this
structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks.

There's no need to manually have to set the module owner of a class, the
compiler should do it automatically for you, so add a module * to the
__class_register() function and allow it to set the module owner
automatically.
This will let us move the module pointer out of struct class eventually,
as it should not be embedded in there if we wish for it to be a
read-only structure eventually.
And, funny story, this module pointer isn't even being used for
anything, so while we will keep it around for now, it's not like it even
matters.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED*
In removing the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2
config options, I messed up in the __class_register() function and got
the logic incorrect. Fix this all up by just removing the special case
of a block device class logic in this function, as that is what is
intended.
In testing, this solves the boot problem on my systems, hopefully on
others as well.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e35
("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions
of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four
years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of
userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel
developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd6b ("SYSFS: Allow boot
time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow
them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter
to be used to switch back to the old format if needed.
Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was
slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed,
and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in
the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are
used instead of symlinks like normal.
Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and
all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older
non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs
representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the
config entries from the kernel.

The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed
into it, so make it const. This propagates down into the kobj_type
function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const,
ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here.
This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be
unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed.
We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will
be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also
freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free.
So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to
cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.

As the description of struct device_private says, it stores data which
is private to driver core. And it already has similar fields like:
knode_parent, knode_driver, knode_driver and knode_bus. This look it is
more proper to put knode_class together with those fields to make it
private to driver core.
This patch move device->knode_class to device_private to make it comply

sysfs ns (namespace) implementation became more convoluted than
necessary while trying to hide ns information from visible interface.
The relatively recent attr ns support is a good example.
* attr ns tag is determined by sysfs_ops->namespace() callback while
dir tag is determined by kobj_type->namespace(). The placement is
arbitrary.
* Instead of performing operations with explicit ns tag, the namespace
callback is routed through sysfs_attr_ns(), sysfs_ops->namespace(),
class_attr_namespace(), class_attr->namespace(). It's not simpler
in any sense. The only thing this convolution does is traversing
the whole stack backwards.
The namespace callbacks are unncessary because the operations involved
are inherently synchronous. The information can be provided in in
straight-forward top-down direction and reversing that direction is
unnecessary and against basic design principles.
This backward interface is unnecessarily convoluted and hinders
properly separating out sysfs from driver model / kobject for proper
layering. This patch updates attr ns support such that
* sysfs_ops->namespace() and class_attr->namespace() are dropped.
* sysfs_{create|remove}_file_ns(), which take explicit @ns param, are
added and sysfs_{create|remove}_file() are now simple wrappers
around the ns aware functions.
* ns handling is dropped from sysfs_chmod_file(). Nobody uses it at
this point. sysfs_chmod_file_ns() can be added later if necessary.
* Explicit @ns is propagated through class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
and netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns().
* driver/net/bonding which is currently the only user of attr
namespace is updated to use netdev_class_{create|remove}_file_ns()
with @bh->net as the ns tag instead of using the namespace callback.
This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference. It makes the code easier to follow, reduces lines of code
a bit and helps proper separation and layering.

Gotta love a macro that doesn't reduce the typing you have to do.
Also, only the driver core, and one network driver uses this. The
driver core functions will be going away soon, and I'll convert the
network driver soon to not need this as well, so delete it for now
before anyone else gets some bright ideas and wants to use it.

All in-kernel users of class_find_device() don't really need mutable
data for match callback.
In two places (kernel/power/suspend_test.c, drivers/scsi/osd/osd_uld.c)
this patch changes match callbacks to use const search data.
The const is propagated to rtc_class_open() and power_supply_get_by_name()
parameters.
Note that there's a dev reference leak in suspend_test.c that's not
touched in this patch.

All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.
There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
available.
Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
of theses devices.
For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
created in /sys/devices.)
Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
and no longer called a driver.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

As classes and busses are pretty much the same thing, and we want to
merge them together into a 'subsystem' in the future, let us share the
same private data parts to make that merge easier.
