sysfs: slim down sysfs_dirent->s_active

Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem.  This
reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76
to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off.  With lock debugging
turned on the reduction is much larger.

s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active.
Putting a reference decrements s_active.  Deactivation subtracts
SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small
enough to make s_active negative.  If s_active is negative,
sysfs_get() no longer grants new references.  Deactivation succeeds
immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a
completion for the last put.

Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less
trickier in release_sysfs_dirent().  As all the complexity is
contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this
way.
