sysfs: move struct sysfs_dirent to private header
struct sysfs_dirent is private to the fs/sysfs/ subtree. It is not even referenced as an opaque structure outside of that subtree. The following patch moves the declaration from include/linux/sysfs.h to fs/sysfs/sysfs.h, making it clearer that nothing else in the kernel dereferences it. I have been running this patch for years. Please integrate and forward upstream if there are no objections. From: "Adam J. Richter" <adam@yggdrasil.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
