Revert "kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers" 

This reverts commit 1ae06819c7.

Tejun writes:
        I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series?
        get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential
        to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is
        something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work
        with the remove_self() like everybody else.  IOW, I think the
        first posting was correct.

/**
* kernfs_remove_self - remove a kernfs_node from its own method
* @kn: the self kernfs_node to remove
*
* The caller must be running off of a kernfs operation which is invoked
* with an active reference - e.g. one of kernfs_ops. This can be used to
* implement a file operation which deletes itself.
*
* For example, the "delete" file for a sysfs device directory can be
* implemented by invoking kernfs_remove_self() on the "delete" file
* itself. This function breaks the circular dependency of trying to
* deactivate self while holding an active ref itself. It isn't necessary
* to modify the usual removal path to use kernfs_remove_self(). The
* "delete" implementation can simply invoke kernfs_remove_self() on self
* before proceeding with the usual removal path. kernfs will ignore later
* kernfs_remove() on self.
*
* kernfs_remove_self() can be called multiple times concurrently on the
* same kernfs_node. Only the first one actually performs removal and
* returns %true. All others will wait until the kernfs operation which
* won self-removal finishes and return %false. Note that the losers wait
* for the completion of not only the winning kernfs_remove_self() but also
* the whole kernfs_ops which won the arbitration. This can be used to
* guarantee, for example, all concurrent writes to a "delete" file to
* finish only after the whole operation is complete.
