kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()

Browse source

If getdents64 is killed or hits on segfault, it'll leave cgroups
directories in sysfs pinned leaking memory because the kernfs node
won't be freed on rmdir and the parent neither.

Repro:

  # for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done
  # rmdir *
  # for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done
  # rmdir *

  # for i in `seq 1000`; do while :; do ls $i/ >/dev/null; done & done
  # while :; do killall ls; done

  kernfs_node_cache in /proc/slabinfo keeps going up as expected.
