Currently sysfs_new_dirent() takes @mode and @type. @mode contains
S_IF* mask which is also duplicately indicated by @type. This patch
sysfs_new_dirent() determine S_IF* mask and normalize @mode such that
only bits from S_IALLUGO is taken as @mode.
This is to allow later use of unused @mode bits as special flags.
