Subject: [PATCH 63/75] sysfs: make sysfs_root a regular directory dirent

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

sysfs_root is different from a regular directory dirent in that it's
of type SYSFS_ROOT and doesn't have a name.  These differences aren't
used by anybody and only adds to complexity.  Make sysfs_root a
regular directory dirent.
