Currently sysfs_get_dentry is very hairy and requires all kinds
of locking magic.  This patch rewrites sysfs_get_dentry to
not use the cached sd->s_dentry, and instead simply lookup
and create dcache entries.

This lays the foundation for removing s_dentry and the
current hairy sysfs_assoc_lock logic.
