Revert "sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()"
This reverts commit d1ba277e79889085a2faec3b68b91ce89c63f888. Tejun writes: I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series? get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work with the remove_self() like everybody else. IOW, I think the first posting was correct. Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
