Tejun Heo c25491747b kernfs: Add KERNFS_REMOVING flags
KERNFS_ACTIVATED tracks whether a given node has ever been activated. As a
node was only deactivated on removal, this was used for

 1. Drain optimization (removed by the previous patch).
 2. To hide !activated nodes
 3. To avoid double activations
 4. Reject adding children to a node being removed
 5. Skip activaing a node which is being removed.

We want to decouple deactivation from removal so that nodes can be
deactivated and hidden dynamically, which makes KERNFS_ACTIVATED useless for
all of the above purposes.

#1 is already gone. #2 and #3 can instead test whether the node is currently
active. A new flag KERNFS_REMOVING is added to explicitly mark nodes which
are being removed for #4 and #5.

While this leaves KERNFS_ACTIVATED with no users, leave it be as it will be
used in a following patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
