Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

/*
** HP VISUALIZE Workstation PCI Bus Defect
**
** "HP has discovered a potential system defect that can affect
** the behavior of five models of HP VISUALIZE workstations when
** equipped with third-party or customer-installed PCI I/O expansion
** cards. The defect is limited to the HP C180, C160, C160L, B160L,
** and B132L VISUALIZE workstations, and will only be encountered
** when data is transmitted through PCI I/O expansion cards on the
** PCI bus. HP-supplied graphics cards that utilize the PCI bus are
** not affected."
