nilfs2: integrate sysfs support into driver



This patch integrates creation of sysfs groups and
attributes into NILFS file system driver.

It was found the issue with nilfs_sysfs_{create/delete}_snapshot_group
functions by Michael L Semon <mlsemon35@gmail.com> in the first
version of the patch:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:579
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 32676, name: umount.nilfs2
  2 locks held by umount.nilfs2/32676:

The reason of the issue was placement of
nilfs_sysfs_{create/delete}_snapshot_group() call under
nilfs->ns_cptree_lock protection.  But this protection is unnecessary and
wrong solution.  The second version of the patch fixes this issue.
