Add helpers to change the owner of a sysfs files.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.

/* v2 */
-  Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>:
   - Better naming for sysfs_file_change_owner() to reflect the fact that it
     can be used to change the owner of the kobject itself by passing NULL as
     argument.
- Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>:
  - Split sysfs_file_change_owner() into two helpers sysfs_change_owner() and
    sysfs_change_owner_by_name(). The former changes the owner of the kobject
    itself, the latter the owner of the kobject looked up via the name
    argument.

/* v3 */
-  Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>:
   - Add explicit uid/gid parameters.

Looks much better, thanks for doing these changes.  I'll review the
whole series now...

Oops, wait, what "file" are you changing here?  You aren't changing the
kobject's attributes, but rather a file in the kobject's directory,
right?  But kobj->sd is the directory of the kobject itself, so why
isn't this function just the same thing as sysfs_change_owner()?

Why would you call this function at all?

confused,

I've moved it directly into sysfs_change_owner(), removed the function,
and renamed "_by_name()" back to sysfs_file_change_owner() which is
easier to parse and makes more sense.
