Subject: [PATCH 1/5] sysfs: fix hardlink count on device_move
From: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Update directory hardlink count when moving kobjects to a new parent.
Fixes the following problem which occurs when several devices are
moved to the same parent and then unregistered:
> ls -laF /sys/devices/css0/defunct/
> total 0
> drwxr-xr-x 4294967295 root root 0 2009-07-14 17:02 ./
> drwxr-xr-x 114 root root 0 2009-07-14 17:02 ../
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2009-07-14 17:01 power/
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2009-07-14 17:01 uevent
