[PATCH 2/8] sysfs: add name formatting support for symlinks

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

This patch implements sysfs name formatting.  sysfs_add_link() is
passed @name_fmt instead of @fmt.  In the format string only
"%[:alnum:]" and "%%" are handled specially.  "%0" is substitued with
the name of @target, "%3" with the name of the third ancestor of
@target, "%[aA]" the 10th and "%[zZ]" with 35th.  "%%" is substituted
with "%".

This formatting is mainly to make symlink renaming automatic such that
when the target or one of its ancestors gets renamed the symlink can
be renamed together automatically & atomically.  It also simplifies
sysfs creation a bit by allowing callers to use static format string
instead of formatting symlink name itself.

@name to kobject based sysfs_create_link() is not interpreted as
format string to keep backward compatibility.
