Subject: [PATCH 22/75] sysfs: simplify sysfs_rename_dir()

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@...il.com>

With the shadow directories gone, sysfs_rename_dir() can be simplified.

* parent doesn't need to be grabbed separately.  Just access
  old_dentry->d_parent.

* parent sd can never change.  Remove code to move under the new
  parent.

* Massage comments a bit.
