sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a duplicate file being created in sysfs. We now will display warnings such as: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs root, or: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo' when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a given directory in sysfs. The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'. Thanks to Alex Williamson for essentially writing sysfs_pathname.
