sysfs: kill unnecessary sysfs_get() in open paths
There's no reason to get an extra reference to sysfs_dirent for an open file. Open file has a reference to the dentry which in turn has a reference to sysfs_dirent. This is fairly obvious as otherwise open itself won't be able to access the sysfs_dirent. Kill the extra sysfs_get() and matching sysfs_put().
