kernfs: prevent early freeing of root node
Marek reported the warning below.
=========================
WARNING: held lock freed!

kworker/1:0/18 is freeing memory ffff00004034e200-ffff00004034e3ff,

Since kernfs moves the kernfs_rwsem lock into root, it couldn't hold
the lock when the root node is tearing down. Thus, get the refcount
of root node.
Fixes: 393c3714081a ("kernfs: switch global kernfs_rwsem lock to per-fs lock")
