kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends

kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
may lead to erroneous values or oops.

Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
fields.

* kernfs_name() - format the node's name into the specified buffer
* kernfs_path() - format the node's path into the specified buffer
* pr_cont_kernfs_name() - pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
* pr_cont_kernfs_path() - pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
* kernfs_get_parent() - pin and return a node's parent

All can be called under any context. The recursive sysfs_pathname()
in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
dereferencing parent directly.

v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing
static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings. Add it.

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
"Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.

There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc)

This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
known issues in that filesystem as well. The code isn't completed
yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
reverted due to problems found when testing)

There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)

All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

sysfs assumed 0755 for all newly created directories and kernfs
inherited it. This assumption is unnecessarily restrictive and
inconsistent with kernfs_create_file[_ns](). This patch adds @mode
parameter to kernfs_create_dir[_ns]() and update uses in sysfs

the planned ->mkdir() method.

s_ prefix for kernfs members is used inconsistently and a misnomer
now. It's not like kernfs_node is used widely across the kernel
making the ability to grep for the members particularly useful. Let's
just drop the prefix.

This patch performs the following renames.

* s/sysfs_elem_dir/kernfs_elem_dir/

* s/target_sd/target/
* s/dir_sd/parent/
* s/to_sysfs_dirent()/rb_to_kn()/
* misc renames of local vars when they conflict with the above

Because md, mic and gpio dig into sysfs details, this patch ends up
modifying them. All are sysfs_dirent renames and trivial. While we
can avoid these by introducing a dummy wrapping struct sysfs_dirent
around kernfs_node, given the limited usage outside kernfs and sysfs
proper, I don't think such workaround is called for.

This patch is strictly rename only and doesn't introduce any
functional difference.

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.
