kernfs: Change kernfs_notify_list to llist.
At present kernfs_notify_list is implemented as a singly linked
list of kernfs_node(s), where last element points to itself and
value of ->attr.next tells if node is present on the list or not.
Both addition and deletion to list happen under kernfs_notify_lock.
Change kernfs_notify_list to llist so that addition to list can heppen
locklessly.
