sysfs: fix use-after-free in sysfs_kill_sb() 

While restructuring the [u]mount path, 4b93dc9b1c ("sysfs, kernfs:
prepare mount path for kernfs") incorrectly updated sysfs_kill_sb() so
that it first kills super_block and then tries to dereference its
namespace tag to drop it.  Fix it by caching namespace tag before
killing the superblock and then drop the cached namespace tag.
