[PATCH 5/8] sysfs: implement symlink auto-rename

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

When a sysfs_node or one of its ancestors is renamed, automatically
rename symlinks pointing to it according to the name format together.

Note that as links created with kobject based sysfs_create_link()
aren't chained on its target, they aren't renamed automatically.  This
is for backward compatibility.
