Recently we met a lockdep warning from sysfs during s2ram or cpu hotplug.
As reported by several people, it is something like:

[ 6967.926563] ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3
[ 6967.956156] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
[ 6967.970401]
[ 6967.970408] =============================================
[ 6967.970419] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
[ 6967.970431] 2.6.33-rc2-git6 #27
[ 6967.970439] ---------------------------------------------
[ 6967.970450] pm-suspend/22147 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 6967.970460]  (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c10d2941>]
sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x3d/0x4f
[ 6967.970493]
[ 6967.970497] but task is already holding lock:
[ 6967.970506]  (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c10d4110>]
sysfs_get_active_two+0x16/0x36
[...]

Eric already provides a patch for this[1], but it still can't fix the
problem. Based on his work and Peter's suggestion, I write this patch,
hopefully we can fix the warning completely.

This patch put sysfs s_active into two classes, one is for PM, the other
is for the rest, so lockdep will distinguish them.
