[PATCH 34/47] sysfs_remove_bin_file: no return value, dump_stack on error

[Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>]

From: Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

Make sysfs_remove_bin_file() void.  If it detects an error,
printk the file name and call dump_stack().

sysfs_hash_and_remove() now returns an error code indicating
its success or failure so that sysfs_remove_bin_file() can
know success/failure.

Convert the only driver that checked the return value of
sysfs_remove_bin_file().
