The code works fine, but....

... that's, ummm, rather verbose.  At minimum, a local log variable,
but I suspect that if the pattern of "all sysfs dirs have a kobject
and a completion" and they are always used together that maybe
we should have a:

struct xfs_kobj {
	struct kobject		kobj;
	struct completion	complete;
};

And we pass them around instead. that would make this:

	error = xfs_sysfs_init(&log->l_kobj, &xfs_log_ktype,
			       &mp->m_kobj, "log");

which is much easier to read....

And that would become:

	xfs_sysfs_del(&log->l_kobj);

I think this could be made much less verbose:

static inline struct xlog *
to_xlog(struct kobject *kobj)
{
	return container_of(...)
}

static inline struct xfs_sysfs_attr *
to_attr(struct attribute *attr)
{
	return container_of(...)
}

so this becomes:

{
	struct xlog		*log = to_xlog(kobj);
	struct xfs_sysfs_attr	*attr = to_attr(kattr);

	return attr->show ? attr->show(buf, log) : 0;
}

If the release funtion is common with other types, then the xfs_kobj
structure is perfect for this use - it will prevent a heap of
duplicated release functions...
