/**
- * kernfs_remove_self - remove a kernfs_node from its own method
- * @kn: the self kernfs_node to remove
- *
- * The caller must be running off of a kernfs operation which is invoked
- * with an active reference - e.g. one of kernfs_ops. This can be used to
- * implement a file operation which deletes itself.
- *
- * For example, the "delete" file for a sysfs device directory can be
- * implemented by invoking kernfs_remove_self() on the "delete" file
- * itself. This function breaks the circular dependency of trying to
- * deactivate self while holding an active ref itself. It isn't necessary
- * to modify the usual removal path to use kernfs_remove_self(). The
- * "delete" implementation can simply invoke kernfs_remove_self() on self
- * before proceeding with the usual removal path. kernfs will ignore later
- * kernfs_remove() on self.
- *
- * kernfs_remove_self() can be called multiple times concurrently on the
- * same kernfs_node. Only the first one actually performs removal and
- * returns %true. All others will wait until the kernfs operation which
- * won self-removal finishes and return %false. Note that the losers wait
- * for the completion of not only the winning kernfs_remove_self() but also
- * the whole kernfs_ops which won the arbitration. This can be used to
- * guarantee, for example, all concurrent writes to a "delete" file to
- * finish only after the whole operation is complete.
