kernfs: also call kernfs_set_rev() for positive dentry

It seems a positive dentry in kernfs becomes a negative dentry directly
through d_delete() in vfs_rmdir(). dentry->d_time is uninitialized
when accessing it in kernfs_dop_revalidate(), because it is only
initialized when created as negative dentry in kernfs_iop_lookup().
The problem can be reproduced by the following command:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/pids && mkdir hi && stat hi && rmdir hi && stat hi
A simple fixes seems to be initializing d->d_time for positive dentry
in kernfs_iop_lookup() as well. The downside is the negative dentry
will be revalidated again after it becomes negative in d_delete(),
because the revison of its parent must have been increased due to
its removal.
Alternative solution is implement .d_iput for kernfs, and assign d_time
for the newly-generated negative dentry in it. But we may need to
take kernfs_rwsem to protect again the concurrent kernfs_link_sibling()
on the parent directory, it is a little over-killing. Now the simple
fix is chosen.
