sysfs: Remove usage of S_BIAS to avoid merge conflict with the vfs tree
In Al's latest vfs tree the code is reworked and S_BIAS has been removed.
It turns out that checking to see if a super block is in the
middle of an unmount in sysfs_exit_ns is unnecessary because we
remove the super_block from the s_supers/s_instances list before
struct sysfs_super_info pointed to by sb->s_fs_info is freed.
For now just delete the unnecessary check to see if a superblock is in the
middle of an unmount, it isn't necessary with or without Al's changes
and it just causes a needless conflict.
