Tejun Heo 3e5190380e sysfs: make sysfs_dirent->s_element a union
Make sd->s_element a union of sysfs_elem_{dir|symlink|attr|bin_attr}
and rename it to s_elem.  This is to achieve...

* some level of type checking : changing symlink to point to
  sysfs_dirent instead of kobject is much safer and less painful now.
* easier / standardized dereferencing
* allow sysfs_elem_* to contain more than one entry

Where possible, pointer is obtained by directly deferencing from sd
instead of going through other entities.  This reduces dependencies to
dentry, inode and kobject.  to_attr() and to_bin_attr() are unused now
and removed.

This is in preparation of object reference simplification.
