kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
kernfs_addrm_cxt and the accompanying kernfs_addrm_start/finish() were
added because there were operations which should be performed outside
kernfs_mutex after adding and removing kernfs_nodes. The necessary
operations were recorded in kernfs_addrm_cxt and performed by
kernfs_addrm_finish(); however, after the recent changes which
relocated deactivation and unmapping so that they're performed
directly during removal, the only operation kernfs_addrm_finish()
performs is kernfs_put(), which can be moved inside the removal path
too.
This patch moves the kernfs_put() of the base ref to __kernfs_remove()
and remove kernfs_addrm_cxt and kernfs_addrm_start/finish().
* kernfs_add_one() is updated to grab and release the parent's active
ref and kernfs_mutex itself. kernfs_get/put_active() and
kernfs_addrm_start/finish() invocations around it are removed from
all users.
* __kernfs_remove() puts an unlinked node directly instead of chaining
it to kernfs_addrm_cxt. Its callers are updated to grab and release
kernfs_mutex instead of calling kernfs_addrm_start/finish() around
it.
v2: Updated to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path.
