Revert "kernfs, sysfs, driver-core: implement kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers"

This reverts commit 1ae06819c77cff1ea2833c94f8c093fe8a5c79db.

        I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series?
        get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential
        to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is
        something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work
        with the remove_self() like everybody else.  IOW, I think the
        first posting was correct.
