sysfs: In sysfs_chmod_file lazily propagate the mode change.
Now that sysfs_getattr and sysfs_permission refresh the vfs inode there is no need to immediatly push the mode change into the vfs cache. Reducing the amount of work needed and simplifying the locking. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
