At some point someone wrote sysfs_readdir to insert a cursor into the list of sysfs_dirents to ensure that sysfs_readdir would restart properly. That works but it is complex code and tends to be expensive. The same effect can be achieved by keeping the sysfs_dirents in inode order and using the inode number as the f_pos. Then when we restart we just have to find the first dirent whose inode number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted to return. Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of all of the mysterious checks for sysfs_type(sd) != 0. Which were nonbovious checks to see if a cursor was in a directory list. tj: offset marker for EOF is changed from UINT_MAX to INT_MAX to avoid overflow in case offset is 32bit.
