sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_ops

We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly.  This patch
introduces kernfs_ops which hosts methods kernfs users implement and
updates fs/sysfs/file.c such that sysfs_kf_*() functions populate
kernfs_ops and kernfs_file_*() functions call the matching entries
from kernfs_ops.

kernfs_ops contains the following groups of methods.

* seq_show() - for kernfs files which use seq_file for reads.

* read() - for direct read implementations.  Used iff seq_show() is
  not implemented.

* write() - for writes.

* mmap() - for mmaps.

Notes:

* sysfs_elem_attr->ops is added so that kernfs_ops can be accessed
  from sysfs_dirent.  kernfs_ops() helper is added to verify locking
  and access the field.

* SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_(SEQ_SHOW|MMAP) added.  sd->s_attr->ops is accessible
  only while holding active_ref and there are cases where we want to
  take different actions depending on which ops are implemented.
  These two flags cache whether the two ops are implemented for those.

* kernfs_file_*() no longer test sysfs type but chooses different
  behaviors depending on which methods in kernfs_ops are implemented.
  The conversions are trivial except for the open path.  As
  kernfs_file_open() now decides whether to allow read/write accesses
  depending on the kernfs_ops implemented, the presence of methods in
  kobjs and attribute_bin should be propagated to kernfs_ops.
  sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated so that it propagates presence /
  absence of the callbacks through _empty, _ro, _wo, _rw kernfs_ops.
