sysfs: make kobj point to sysfs_dirent instead of dentry

As kobj sysfs dentries and inodes are gonna be made reclaimable,
dentry can't be used as naming token for sysfs file/directory, replace
kobj->dentry with kobj->sd.  The only external interface change is
shadow directory handling.  All other changes are contained in kobj
and sysfs.
