sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a union
Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr} and rename it to s_elem. This is to achieve... * some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now. * easier / standardized dereferencing * allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd instead of going through other entities. This reduces dependencies to dentry, inode and kobject. to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now and removed. This is in preparation of object reference simplification.
