sysfs: make __sysfs_add_one() fail if the parent isn't a directory
Currently the kobject based interface guarantees that a parent sysfs_dirent is always a directory; however, the planned kernfs interface will be directly based on sysfs_dirents and the caller may specify non-directory node as the parent. Add an explicit check in __sysfs_add_one() so that such attempts fail with -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
