sysfs: Add s_hash to sysfs_dirent and order directory entries by hash
Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed 32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash, replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode. Because we now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2 pointers. Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now simpler. For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to use and seems simple enough. In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that have non-trivial directory structures. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
