    kernfs: remove KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and add kernfs_lockdep() · 182fd64b

    There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep
    annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask.
    The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active()
    while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate().
    
    While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the
    deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it
    needlessly diverges code paths.  Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF.
    
    While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP
    flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled
    out when not enabled.
    
    v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor
        KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag").  As the earlier patch already added
        KERNFS_LOCKDEP tests to kernfs_deactivate(), those additions are
        dropped from this patch and the existing ones are simply converted
        to kernfs_lockdep().
