Subject[22/74] sysfs: handle failure path correctly for readdir()
3.2.43-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>

commit e5110f411d2ee35bf8d202ccca2e89c633060dca upstream.

In case of 'if (filp->f_pos == 0 or 1)' of sysfs_readdir(),
the failure from filldir() isn't handled, and the reference counter
of the sysfs_dirent object pointed by filp->private_data will be
released without clearing filp->private_data, so use after free
bug will be triggered later.

This patch returns immeadiately under the situation for fixing the bug,
and it is reasonable to return from readdir() when filldir() fails.
