[Devel] [PATCH RFC] kernfs: keep kernfs node alive for __kernfs_remove()

[Konstantin Khorenko]

__kernfs_remove() which is called under kernfs_mutex,
assumes nobody kills kernfs node whie it's working on it
and "get"s current kernfs node for that.

But we hit a warning in kernfs_get() get kn->counter == 0 already:
------------[ cut here ]------------

This could be for example because of kernfs_notify_workfn() which
does kernfs_put(kn) out of kernfs_mutex held section,
so move kernfs_put(kn) under the mutex.
