There currently is single kernfs hierarchy in the whole system which is used for sysfs. kernfs needs to support multiple hierarchies to allow other users. This patch introduces struct kernfs_root which serves as the root of each kernfs hierarchy and implements kernfs_create/destroy_root(). * Each kernfs_root is associated with a root sd (sysfs_dentry). The root is freed when the root sd is released and kernfs_destory_root() simply invokes kernfs_remove() on the root sd. sysfs_remove_one() is updated to handle release of the root sd. Note that ps_iattr update in sysfs_remove_one() is trivially updated for readability. * Root sd's are now dynamically allocated using sysfs_new_dirent(). Update sysfs_alloc_ino() so that it gives out ino from 1 so that the root sd still gets ino 1. * While kernfs currently only points to the root sd, it'll soon grow fields which are specific to each hierarchy. As determining a given sd's root will be necessary, sd->s_dir.root is added. This backlink fits better as a separate field in sd; however, sd->s_dir is inside union with space to spare, so use it to save space and provide kernfs_root() accessor to determine the root sd. * As hierarchies may be destroyed now, each mount needs to hold onto the hierarchy it's attached to. Update sysfs_fill_super() and sysfs_kill_sb() so that they get and put the kernfs_root respectively. * sysfs_root is replaced with kernfs_root which is dynamically created by invoking kernfs_create_root() from sysfs_init(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. v2: kernfs_create_root() forgot to set @sd->priv. Fixed.
