[PATCH 01/15] kobject: Cleanup kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir
calling kobject_set_name is.  Move the work into kobject_rename
where it belongs.  The callers serialize us anyway so this is
safe.
