Subject: [PATCH 01/11] kernfs: replace kernfs_node->u.completion with kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq

kernfs_node->u.completion is used to notify deactivation completion
from kernfs_put_active() to kernfs_deactivate().  We now allow
multiple racing removals of the same node and the current removal
scheme is no longer correct - kernfs_remove() invocation may return
before the node is properly deactivated if it races against another
removal.  The removal path will be restructured to address the issue.

To help such restructure which requires supporting multiple waiters,
this patch replaces kernfs_node->u.completion with
kernfs_root->deactivate_waitq.  This makes deactivation event
notifications share a per-root waitqueue_head; however, the wait path
is quite cold and this will also allow shaving one pointer off
kernfs_node.
