Subject: Build failure after merge of the char-misc tree

After merging the char-misc tree into -next an x86 allmodconfig build fails
with:

drivers/misc/mic/host/mic_main.c: In function ‘mic_probe’:
drivers/misc/mic/host/mic_main.c:320:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘sysfs_get_dirent’
   NULL, "state");
   ^

                 from include/linux/module.h:16,

include/linux/sysfs.h:465:1: note: declared here
 sysfs_get_dirent(struct sysfs_dirent *parent_sd, const unsigned char
*name)
 ^
make[4]: *** [drivers/misc/mic/host/mic_main.o] Error 1

caused by an interaction between the addition of the Intel MIC host
driver and commit 388975cccaaf1 (sysfs: clean up sysfs_get_dirent())
from the driver-current tree.

I've applied the patch below and can carry it for the time being.
