Subject: [PATCH v3] kernfs: Use RCU for kernfs_node::name and ::parent lookup.

Instead of using kernfs_rename_lock to protect kernfs_node::name and
::parent from changing/ going away use RCU for its lifetime guarantees.

A node can be be renamed or moved and the observed ::name and ::parent
remains valid within the RCU section. kernfs_root() may dereference
kernfs_node::parent in order to obtain kernfs_root and the parent will
remain around and every node points to the same kernfs_root.

This can be used to optimize kernfs_name() to perform the lookup only
with RCU (without kernfs_rename_lock).

For a complete path, as it is done in kernfs_path_from_node(), the
kernfs_rename_lock is still required in order to obtain a stable parent
relationship while computing the relevant node depth. This must not
change while the nodes are inspected in order to build the path.
If the kernfs user never moves the nodes (changes the parent) then the
kernfs_rename_lock is not required and the RCU guarantees are
sufficient. This "restriction" can be set with
KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT.

I went through all ::name and ::parent users and added the required
access for the lookup with a few extensions:
- rdtgroup_pseudo_lock_create() drops all locks and then uses the name
  later on. resctrl supports rename with different parents. Here I made
  a temporal copy of the name while it is used outside of the lock.
- kernfs_rename_ns() accepts NULL as new_parent. This simplifies
  sysfs_move_dir_ns() where it can set NULL in order to reuse the
  current name.
- kernfs_rename_ns() is only using kernfs_rename_lock if the parents are
  different. All users users use either RCU or kernfs_rwsem.
- kernfs_fop_readdir() drops kernfs_root::kernfs_rwsem while holding a
  reference to name and invoking dir_emit(). This has been changed and
  lock is held.
- kernfs_notify_workfn() access kernfs_node::name without any
  protection. Added kernfs_root::kernfs_rwsem for the iteration.
- kernfs_get_parent_dentry() acquires now kernfs_root::kernfs_rwsem
  while accessing the parent node.
- kernfs_node_dentry() acquires now kernfs_root::kernfs_rwsem while
  parent is accessed and the name looked up.
