security: prevent permission checking of file removal via sysfs_remove_group()
Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern(). Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).
