[PATCH 02/50] docs/sysfs: Update directory/kobject documentation.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>

Some time ago the way how sysfs stores a pointer to a kobject
corresponding to a directory was modified. This patch brings the
documentation again in sync with the implementation.
