[PATCH 01/11] sysfs: Support for preventing unmounts.

sysfs: Support for preventing unmounts.

To support mounting multiple instances of sysfs occassionally I
need to walk through all of the currently present sysfs super blocks.

To allow this iteration this patch adds sysfs_grab_supers
and sysfs_release_supers. While a piece of code is in
a section surrounded by these no more sysfs super blocks
will be either created or destroyed.
