kernfs: invoke kernfs_unmap_bin_file() directly from __kernfs_remove()

kernfs_unmap_bin_file() is supposed to unmap all memory mappings of
the target file before kernfs_remove() finishes; however, it currently
is being called from kernfs_addrm_finish() and has the same race
problem as the original implementation of deactivation when there are
multiple removers - only the remover which snatches the node to its
addrm_cxt->removed list is guaranteed to wait for its completion
before returning.

It can be fixed by moving kernfs_unmap_bin_file() invocation from
kernfs_addrm_finish() to __kernfs_remove().  The function may be
called multiple times but that shouldn't do any harm.

We end up dropping kernfs_mutex in the removal loop and the node may
be removed inbetween by someone else.  kernfs_unlink_sibling() is
updated to test whether the node has already been removed and return
accordingly.  __kernfs_remove() in turn performs post-unlinking
cleanup only if it actually unlinked the node.

KERNFS_HAS_MMAP test is moved out of the unmap function into
__kernfs_remove() so that we don't unlock kernfs_mutex unnecessarily.
While at it, drop the now meaningless "bin" qualifier from the
function name.

v2: Rewritten to fit the v2 restructuring of removal path.  HAS_MMAP
    test relocated.
