Rohan Kollambalath a54c1d1b85 sysfs:Addresses documentation in sysfs_merge_group and sysfs_unmerge_group.
These functions take a struct attribute_group as an input which has an
optional .name field. These functions rely on the .name field being
populated and do not check if its null. They pass this name into other
functions, eventually leading to a null pointer dereference.

This change simply updates the documentation of the function to make
this requirement clear.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
