sysfs: make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on failed lookup

sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by
shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative
dentry for sysfs.  However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus
created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist.

Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure.  This
fixes the NULL dereference bug in sysfs_get_dentry() discovered by
bluetooth rfcomm device moving around.
