Fix a reference counting bug in containerfs

As part of the extraction of cpusetfs to containerfs, a call to
cpuset_get_dentry() was lost (justified by the fact that the dentry in
question was now being passed down by the caller). Since
cpuset_get_dentry() called lookup_one_len(), this resulted in a
reference count being missed from the directory dentry.

This patch removes container_get_dentry() and replaces it with direct
calls to lookup_one_len(); the initialization of containerfs dentry
ops is done now in container_create_file() at dentry creation time.
