kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes.  The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.

This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().

* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release kernfs_mutex itself.
  sysfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
  all users.

* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
  it to kernfs_addrm_cxt.  Its callers are updated to grab and release
  kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
  it.

v2: Rebased on top of "kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its
    parent on creation" which dropped @parent from kernfs_add_one().

Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put().
Since ba7443bc ("sysfs, kernfs: implement
kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root()
to locate the ino_ida.  kernfs_root() in turn depends on
kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes.  This means that
kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized.

This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without
going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one()
before ->parent is set.  kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will
try to dereference NULL parent.

Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from
kernfs_add_one().  kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of
@root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new
node's parent properly.  @parent parameter is removed from
kernfs_add_one().  As there's no parent when creating the root node,
__kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the
parent is used in that case.

This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its
parent associated and thus can be put.

KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so
that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or
renaming it; however, its role overlaps those of deactivation and
removal from rbtree.

It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in
progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation
- KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new
file operations.  There's no reason to have them separate making
things more complex than necessary.

KERNFS_REMOVED is also used to decide whether a node is still visible
to vfs layer, which is rather redundant as equivalent determination
can be made by testing whether the node is on its parent's children
rbtree or not.

This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED.

* Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life
  deactivated.  This means that we now use both atomic_add() and
  atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN.  The compiler
  generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation
  can't be represented as a positive number.  Nothing is actually
  broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs
  which negates the subtrahend..

* KERNFS_REMOVED tests in add and rename paths are replaced with
  kernfs_get/put_active() of the target nodes.  Due to the way the add
  path is structured now, active ref handling is done in the callers
  of kernfs_add_one().  This will be consolidated up later.

* kernfs_remove_one() is updated to deactivate instead of setting
  KERNFS_REMOVED.  This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(),
  which is now renamed to kernfs_drain().

* kernfs_dop_revalidate() now tests RB_EMPTY_NODE(&kn->rb) instead of
  KERNFS_REMOVED and KERNFS_REMOVED test in kernfs_dir_pos() is
  dropped.  A node which is removed from the children rbtree is not
  included in the iteration in the first place.  This means that a
  node may be visible through vfs a bit longer - it's now also visible
  after deactivation until the actual removal.  This slightly enlarged
  window difference doesn't make any difference to the userland.

* Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with
  checks on the active ref.

* Some comment style updates in the affected area.

v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring.  kernfs_active()
    dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead.  RB_EMPTY_NODE()
    used in the lookup paths.

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.

kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs.  This patch
extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*().  As
trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which
uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic.

Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement
get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for
"trusted.*".  We probably want to extend those ops to include support
for "security.*".

This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires
"trusted.*" xattr support.

kernfs is being updated to allow multiple sysfs_dirent hierarchies so
that it can also be used by other users.  Currently, inode number is
allocated using a global ida, sysfs_ino_ida; however, inos for
different hierarchies should be handled separately.

This patch makes ino allocation per kernfs_root.  sysfs_ino_ida is
replaced by kernfs_root->ino_ida and sysfs_new_dirent() is updated to
take @root and allocate ino from it.  ida_simple_get/remove() are used
instead of sysfs_ino_lock and sysfs_alloc/free_ino().
