sysfs: implement kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock

Browse Source 
kobj->dentry can go away anytime unless the user controls when the
associated sysfs node is deleted.  This patch implements
kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock which protects kobj->dentry.  This will be used
to maintain kobj based API when converting sysfs to use sysfs_dirent
tree instead of dentry/kobject.

Note that this lock belongs to kobject/driver-model not sysfs.  Once
sysfs is converted to not use kobject in its interface, this can be
removed from sysfs.

This is in preparation of object reference simplification.
