sysfs: make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on failed lookup
sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative dentry for sysfs. However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist. Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure. This fixes the NULL dereference bug in sysfs_get_dentry() discovered by bluetooth rfcomm device moving around.
