Subject: [PATCH 2/5] kernfs: make ->attr.open RCU protected.

After removal of kernfs_open_node->refcnt in the previous patch,
kernfs_open_node_lock can be removed as well by making ->attr.open
RCU protected. kernfs_put_open_node can delegate freeing to ->attr.open
to RCU and other readers of ->attr.open can do so under rcu_read_(un)lock.

Suggested by: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>
