kernfs: fix a subdir count leak

Currently kernfs_link_sibling() increates parent->dir.subdirs before adding the node into parent's chidren rb tree. Because it is possible that kernfs_link_sibling() couldn't find a suitable slot and bail out, this leads to a mismatch between elevated subdir count with actual children node numbers. This patches fix this problem, by moving the subdir accouting after the actual addtion happening.
