Liav A e490c17bde Kernel/SysFS: Ensure data stability when reading from Inodes ...

Like with the ProcFS, description data can change at anytime, so it's
wise to ensure that when the userland reads from an Inode, data is
consistent unless the userland indicated it wants to refresh the data
(by seeking to offset 0, or re-attaching the Inode).
Otherwise, if the data changes in the middle of the reading, it can
cause silent corruption in output which can lead to random crashes.
