sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in symlink code
There's no reason for sysfs to be calling ktype->namespace(). It is backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. There are two places where symlink code calls ktype->namespace(). * sysfs_do_create_link_sd() calls it to find out the namespace tag of the target directory. Unless symlinking races with cross-namespace renaming, this equals @target_sd->s_ns. * sysfs_rename_link() uses it to find out the new namespace to rename to and the new namespace can be different from the existing one. The function is renamed to sysfs_rename_link_ns() with an explicit @ns argument and the ktype->namespace() invocation is shifted to the device layer. While this patch replaces ktype->namespace() invocation with the recorded result in @target_sd, this shouldn't result in any behvior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.
