sysfs, kernfs: prepare mount path for kernfs
We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate. * As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper, kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a super_block's namespace tag. * Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns(). sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check, acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns(). * Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb() which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb(). As sysfs needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put. * sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into kernfs_init(). kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make much sense. Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure. After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.
