* Remove the superblock from fs_supers/s_instances
Right now per-fs kernfs_rwsem protects list of kernfs_super_info instances for a kernfs_root. Since kernfs_rwsem is used to synchronize several other operations across kernfs and since most of these operations don't impact kernfs_super_info, we can use a separate per-fs rwsem to synchronize access to list of kernfs_super_info. This helps in reducing contention around kernfs_rwsem and also allows operations that change/access list of kernfs_super_info to proceed without contending for kernfs_rwsem.
