[PATCH] sysfs-iattr: attach sysfs_dirent before new inode

[PATCH] sysfs-iattr: attach sysfs_dirent before new inode

o The following patch makes sure to attach sysfs_dirent to the dentry before
  allocation a new inode through sysfs_create(). This change is done as
  preparatory work for implementing ->i_op->setattr() functionality for
  sysfs objects.
