2014-01-04Revert "kobject: introduce kobj_completion"Greg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit eee031649707db3c9920d9498f8d03819b74fc23. Jeff writes: I have no objections to reverting it. There were concerns from Al Viro that it'd be tough to get right by callers and I had assumed it got dropped after that. I had planned on using it in my btrfs sysfs exports patchset but came up with a better way.

2013-09-26kobject: introduce kobj_completionJeff Mahoney
A common way to handle kobject lifetimes in embedded in objects with different lifetime rules is to pair the kobject with a struct completion. This introduces a kobj_completion structure that can be used in place of the pairing, along with several convenience functions for initialization, release, and put-and-wait.
