4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 87d2846fcf88113fae2341da1ca9a71f0d916f2c upstream.
Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and
sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off
of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a
kobject. Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use
them.
