When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name. It's currently only used for
sysfs attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and
unchanged. There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated
and formatted dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're
consts in the rodata section.
Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around. Remove it.

Lightly tested. Seems to work fine. Please feel free to route with
the rest of the series.
Thanks.
