  driver core: Make Kconfig text for DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE stronger (2016-10-27 17:47:12 +0200)

driver core fixes for 4.9-rc3

Here are two small driver core / kernfs fixes for 4.9-rc3.  One makes
the Kconfig entry for DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE a bit more explicit that
this is a crazy thing to enable for a distro kernel (thanks for trying
Fedora!), the other resolves an issue with vim opening kernfs files
(sysfs, configfs, etc.).

Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues.
