    This patch makes dentries and inodes for sysfs directories
    reclaimable.
    
    * sysfs_notify() is modified to walk sysfs_dirent tree instead of
      dentry tree.
    
    * sysfs_update_file() and sysfs_chmod_file() use sysfs_get_dentry() to
      grab the victim dentry.
    
    * sysfs_rename_dir() and sysfs_move_dir() grab all dentries using
      sysfs_get_dentry() on startup.
    
    * Dentries for all shadowed directories are pinned in memory to serve
      as lookup start point.
