kernfs: implement kernfs_get_parent(), kernfs_name/path() and friends
kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
may lead to erroneous values or oops.

Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
fields.

* kernfs_name()		- format the node's name into the specified buffer
* kernfs_path()		- format the node's path into the specified buffer
* pr_cont_kernfs_name()	- pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
* pr_cont_kernfs_path()	- pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
* kernfs_get_parent()	- pin and return a node's parent

All can be called under any context.  The recursive sysfs_pathname()
in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
dereferencing parent directly.

v2: Dummy definition of kernfs_path() for !CONFIG_KERNFS was missing
    static inline making it cause a lot of build warnings.  Add it.
