sysfs: implement kobj_sysfs_assoc_lock
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.
