Tejun Heo ecca47ce82 kernfs: kernfs_notify() must be useable from non-sleepable contexts
d911d98748 ("kernfs: make kernfs_notify() trigger inotify events
too") added fsnotify triggering to kernfs_notify() which requires a
sleepable context.  There are already existing users of
kernfs_notify() which invoke it from an atomic context and in general
it's silly to require a sleepable context for triggering a
notification.

The following is an invalid context bug triggerd by md invoking
sysfs_notify() from IO completion path.

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:586

This patch fixes it by punting the notification delivery through a
work item.  This ends up adding an extra pointer to kernfs_elem_attr
enlarging kernfs_node by a pointer, which is not ideal but not a very
big deal either.  If this turns out to be an actual issue, we can move
kernfs_elem_attr->size to kernfs_node->iattr later.
