kernfs: Remove reference counting for kernfs_open_node.

The decision to free kernfs_open_node object in kernfs_put_open_node can
be taken based on whether kernfs_open_node->files list is empty or not. As
far as kernfs_drain_open_files is concerned it can't overlap with
kernfs_fops_open and hence can check for ->attr.open optimistically
(if ->attr.open is NULL) or under kernfs_open_file_mutex (if it needs to
traverse the ->files list.) Thus kernfs_drain_open_files can work w/o ref
counting involved kernfs_open_node as well.
So remove ->refcnt and modify the above mentioned users accordingly.
