Ugh.  That patch was supposed to remove the inner grab and release of
sysfs_mutex.  I guess I somehow failed to move that change all of the
way down to this patch.  #18 gets it right for sysfs_move_dir.  And
#20 fixes it but yes this patch is broken, and will mess up any
git-bisect badly.

So this patch needs to be respun.
