sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.
Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different attributes. There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to generate lots of false positives. This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init. Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning if this requirement is not met. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
