With the previous changes, sysfs regular file code is ready to handle
bin files too. This patch makes bin files share the regular file
path.
* sysfs_create/remove_bin_file() are moved to fs/sysfs/file.c.
* sysfs_init_inode() is updated to use the new sysfs_bin_operations
instead of bin_fops for bin files.
* fs/sysfs/bin.c and the related pieces are removed.
This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference to bin file
accesses.
Overall, this unification reduces the amount of duplicate logic, makes
behaviors more consistent and paves the road for building simpler and
more versatile interface which will allow other subsystems to make use
of sysfs for their pseudo filesystems.
v2: Stale fs/sysfs/bin.c reference dropped from
Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.tmpl. Reported by kbuild test
robot.

The '->write_super' superblock method is gone, and this patch removes all the
references to 'write_super' from various pieces of the kernel documentation.

Fix broken link in Documentation/filesystem, replacing
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/journal-design.ps.gz
by a URL on http://kernel.org
Thanks to Randy Dunlap for his advise on the best replacement
URL to use.

Move pipes and splice docbook to filesystems book.
kernel-api book is huge (10x most other books) & slow to process.

Move journal-api into filesystems.tmpl as a Chapter. Applies on top of the
previous docbook: make a filesystems book patch.
Remove trailing whitespace from journal-api chapter. Align some of the
tags.

Make a filesystems DocBook book/file by moving all filesystems info from
kernel-api.tmpl. Will also merge journal-api.tmpl into it soon (with
permission from Roger Gammans). Localizes filesystem info and reduces size
of the huge (produced) kernel-api output files.
