sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_create_link()
Separate out kernfs symlink interface - kernfs_create_link() - which takes and returns sysfs_dirents, from sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). sysfs_do_create_link_sd() now just determines the parent and target sysfs_dirents and invokes the new interface and handles dup warning. This patch doesn't introduce behavior changes. v2: Dummy implementation for !CONFIG_SYSFS updated to return -ENOSYS.
