sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs[_find_and]_get() and kernfs_put()
Introduce kernfs interface for finding, getting and putting sysfs_dirents. * sysfs_find_dirent() is renamed to kernfs_find_ns() and lockdep assertion for sysfs_mutex is added. * sysfs_get_dirent_ns() is renamed to kernfs_find_and_get(). * Macro inline dancing around __sysfs_get/put() are removed and kernfs_get/put() are made proper functions implemented in fs/sysfs/dir.c. While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference - kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value. This change is intentional. While passing through the input increases writability in some areas, it is unnecessary and has been shown to cause confusion regarding how the last ref is handled.
