There's no reason to get an extra reference to sysfs_dirent for an
open file. Open file has a reference to the dentry which in turn has
a reference to sysfs_dirent. This is fairly obvious as otherwise open
itself won't be able to access the sysfs_dirent. Kill the extra
sysfs_get() and matching sysfs_put().
