driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().
driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename(). Renaming network devices to an already existing name is not something we want sysfs to print a scary warning for, since the callers can deal with this correctly. So let's introduce sysfs_create_link_nowarn() which gets rid of the common warning. Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
