sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_parent
Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent. With this patch, each sd points to and
holds a reference to its parent. This allows walking sysfs tree
without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user
doesn't control when it's deleted.
sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in
sysfs_attach_dirent(). Reference to parent is released when the sd is
released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be
followed.
dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk.
This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only
sysfs_dirent tree.
