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.
