    sysfs: merge regular and bin file handling · 3124eb16
    Tejun Heo authored
    With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle
    bin files too.  This patch makes bin files share the regular file
    path.
    
    * sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c.
    
    * sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations
      instead of bin_fops for bin files.
    
    * fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed.
    
    This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file
    accesses.
    
    Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes
    behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and
    more versatile interface which will allow other subsystems to make use
    of sysfs for their pseudo filesystems.
    
    v2: Stale fs/sysfs/bin.c reference dropped from
        Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.tmpl.  Reported by kbuild test
        robot.
