sysfs: Fix regression when adding a file to an existing group
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 5f81880 ("sysfs, kobject: allow creating kobject belonging
to arbitrary users") incorrectly changed the argument passed as the
parent parameter when calling sysfs_add_file_mode_ns(). This caused some
sysfs attribute files to not be added correctly to certain groups.
