sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()
There currently is single kernfs hierarchy in the whole system which
is used for sysfs. kernfs needs to support multiple hierarchies to
allow other users. This patch introduces struct kernfs_root which
serves as the root of each kernfs hierarchy and implements
kernfs_create/destroy_root().
* Each kernfs_root is associated with a root sd (sysfs_dentry). The
root is freed when the root sd is released and kernfs_destory_root()
simply invokes kernfs_remove() on the root sd. sysfs_remove_one()
is updated to handle release of the root sd. Note that ps_iattr
update in sysfs_remove_one() is trivially updated for readability.
* Root sd's are now dynamically allocated using sysfs_new_dirent().
Update sysfs_alloc_ino() so that it gives out ino from 1 so that the
root sd still gets ino 1.
* While kernfs currently only points to the root sd, it'll soon grow
fields which are specific to each hierarchy. As determining a given
sd's root will be necessary, sd->s_dir.root is added. This backlink
fits better as a separate field in sd; however, sd->s_dir is inside
union with space to spare, so use it to save space and provide
kernfs_root() accessor to determine the root sd.
* As hierarchies may be destroyed now, each mount needs to hold onto
the hierarchy it's attached to. Update sysfs_fill_super() and
sysfs_kill_sb() so that they get and put the kernfs_root
respectively.
* sysfs_root is replaced with kernfs_root which is dynamically created
by invoking kernfs_create_root() from sysfs_init().
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
v2: kernfs_create_root() forgot to set @sd->priv. Fixed.
