sysfs, kernfs: prepare mount path for kernfs

We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate.

* As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper,
  kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a
  super_block's namespace tag.

* Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns().
  sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check,
  acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns().

* Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb()
  which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb().  As sysfs
  needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps
  kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put.

* sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into
  kernfs_init().  kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and
  trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make
  much sense.  Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make
  sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure.

  After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before
  sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.
