[PATCH 3/7] sysfs: Keep an nlink count on sysfs directories.

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On large directories sysfs_count_nlinks can be a significant
bottleneck, so keep a count in sysfs_dirent.  If we exceed
the maximum number of directory entries we can store return
nlink of 1.  An nlink of 1 matches what reiserfs does in
this case, and it let's find and similar utlities know that
we have a the directory nlink can not be used for optimization
purposes.
