driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().
driver core: Suppress sysfs warnings for device_rename().

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.
