Various filesystem drivers have grown a get_dentry() function that's a
duplicate of lookup_one_len, except that it doesn't take a maximum length
argument and doesn't check for \0 or / in the passed in filename.
Switch all these places to use lookup_one_len.

o Following patch sets the attributes for newly allocated inodes for sysfs
objects. If the object has non-default attributes, inode attributes are
set as saved in sysfs_dirent->s_iattr, pointer to struct iattr.

o This adds ->i_op->setattr VFS method for sysfs inodes. The changed
attribues are saved in the persistent sysfs_dirent structure as a pointer
to struct iattr. The struct iattr is allocated only for those sysfs_dirent's
for which default attributes are getting changed. Thanks to Jon Smirl for
this suggestion.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
