module: don't ignore sysfs_create_link() failures

[ Upstream commit 85d2b0aa170351380be39fe4ff7973df1427fe76 ]

The sysfs_create_link() return code is marked as __must_check, but the
module_add_driver() function tries hard to not care, by assigning the
return code to a variable. When building with 'make W=1', gcc still
warns because this variable is only assigned but not used:

drivers/base/module.c: In function 'module_add_driver':
drivers/base/module.c:36:6: warning: variable 'no_warn' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Rework the code to properly unwind and return the error code to the
caller. My reading of the original code was that it tries to
not fail when the links already exist, so keep ignoring -EEXIST
errors.

Fixes: e17e0f51aeea ("Driver core: show drivers in /sys/module/")

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
"struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
changes.

This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
for all busses and classes in the kernel.

The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
of them actually did so.

Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:

- kobject logging improvements

- cacheinfo improvements and updates

- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

- documentation updates

- device property cleanups and const * changes

- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

driver core: clean up the logic to determine which /sys/dev/ directory to use

When a dev_t is set in a struct device, an symlink in /sys/dev/ is
created for it either under /sys/dev/block/ or /sys/dev/char/ depending
on the device type.

The logic to determine this would trigger off of the class of the
object, and the kobj_type set in that location. But it turns out that
this deep nesting isn't needed at all, as it's either a choice of block
or "everything else" which is a char device. So make the logic a lot
more simple and obvious, and remove the incorrect comments in the code
that tried to document something that was not happening at all (it is
impossible to set class->dev_kobj to NULL as the class core prevented
that from happening.

This removes the only place that class->dev_kobj was being used, so
after this, it can be removed entirely.

driver core: core: move to use class_to_subsys()

There are a number of places in core.c that need access to the private
subsystem structure of struct class, so move them to use
class_to_subsys() instead of accessing it directly.

This requires exporting class_to_subsys() out of class.c, but keeping it
local to the driver core.
