Tejun Heo 13b3086d2e sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_parent
Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent.  With this patch, each sd points to and
holds a reference to its parent.  This allows walking sysfs tree
without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user
doesn't control when it's deleted.

sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in
sysfs_attach_dirent().  Reference to parent is released when the sd is
released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be
followed.

dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk.

This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only
sysfs_dirent tree.
