[PATCH] sysfs: use atomic_inc_unless_negative in sysfs_get_active

[Maarten Lankhorst]

It seems that sysfs has an interesting way of doing the same thing.
This removes the cpu_relax unfortunately, but if it's really needed,
it would be better to add this to include/linux/atomic.h to benefit
all atomic ops users.
