sysfs, kernfs: revamp sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation
Currently, sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation uses attribute->[s]key as the lockdep key, which forces kernfs_create_file_ns() to assume that sysfs_dirent->priv is pointing to a struct attribute which may not be true for non-sysfs users. This patch restructures the lockdep annotation such that * kernfs_ops contains lockdep_key which is used by default for files created kernfs_create_file_ns(). * kernfs_create_file_ns_key() is introduced which takes an extra @key argument. The created file will use the specified key for active_ref lockdep annotation. If NULL is specified, lockdep for the file is disabled. * sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated to use kernfs_create_file_ns_key() with the appropriate key from the attribute or NULL if ignore_lockdep is set. This makes the lockdep annotation properly contained in kernfs while allowing sysfs to cleanly keep its current behavior. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences.
