bcachefs: Fix sysfs warning in fstests generic/730,731
sysfs warns if we're removing a symlink from a directory that's no
longer in sysfs; this is triggered by fstests generic/730, which
simulates hot removal of a block device.
This patch is however not a correct fix, since checking
kobj->state_in_sysfs on a kobj owned by another subsystem is racy.
A better fix would be to add the appropriate check to
sysfs_remove_link() - and sysfs_create_link() as well.
But kobject_add_internal()/kobject_del() do not as of today have locking
that would support that.
Note that the block/holder.c code appears to be subject to this race as
well.
