sysfs warns if we're removing a symlink from a directory that's no longer in sysfs; this is triggered by fstests generic/730, which simulates hot removal of a block device. This patch is however not a correct fix, since checking kobj->state_in_sysfs on a kobj owned by another subsystem is racy. A better fix would be to add the appropriate check to sysfs_remove_link() - and sysfs_create_link() as well. But kobject_add_internal()/kobject_del() do not as of today have locking that would support that. Note that the block/holder.c code appears to be subject to this race as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
