It would be nice to be able to do:

for_each_thing(thing) {
 	error = sysfs_create_group(&thing->kobj, attrs);
 	if (error) {
 		for_each_thing(thing)
 			sysfs_remove_group(&thing->kobj, attrs);
		return error;
	}
}

But there's a BUG_ON() in sysfs_remove_group() which hits if the attributes
were never added.

As discussed here ...
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/cbe-oss-dev/2007-July/002774.html

.. we should just return in that case instead of BUG'ing.
