Subject[PATCH RFC 1/1] kernfs: keep kernfs node alive for __kernfs_remove()
Date
__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(): kn->counter == 0 already:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 63923 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:377 kernfs_get+0x2f/0x40

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.
