[PATCH v7 1/6] kernfs: Acquire kernfs_rwsem in kernfs_notify_workfn().

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

kernfs_notify_workfn() dereferences kernfs_node::name and passes it
later to fsnotify(). If the node is renamed then the previously observed
name pointer becomes invalid.

Acquire kernfs_root::kernfs_rwsem to block renames of the node.
