This reverts commit cc798c83898ea0a77fcaa1a92afda35c3c3ded74.

Tony writes:
Somehow this causes a regression in Linux next for me where I'm
seeing lots of sysfs entries now missing under
/sys/bus/platform/devices.

For example, I now only see one .serial entry show up in sysfs.
Things work again if I revert commit cc798c83898e ("kernfs: fix
memleak inkernel_ops_readdir()"). Any ideas why that would be?

Tejun says:
Ugh, you're right.  It can get double-put cuz ctx->pos is put by
release too.

So reverting it for now.
