sysfs: fix race condition around sd->s_dentry, take#2

Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means
sd->s_dentry can change dynamically.  However, updates to the field
are unsynchronized leading to race conditions.  This patch adds
sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry.

Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
is complex.  sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself.  The
validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry
is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.

This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel
branch.
