Driver Core: fix bug in device_rename() for SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
This should fix the sysfs warnings that renaming network devices is causing to show up with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y The code just shouldn't run if class devices are real directories, it's an update for the symlink in the class directory. Nobody noticed that as long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.
