      x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute · 01e8ef11
      Parag Warudkar authored
      
      Tejun's commit 7b595756 made sysfs
      attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
      ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
      time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
      a time!
      
      This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
      CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
      as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
      can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
      and boot tested.
      
      akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
      `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
      new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.
      
      [akpm: remove the ifdef for now]
