configfs: Introduce configfs_dirent_lock
This patch introduces configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to protect configfs_dirent traversals against linkage mutations (add/del/move). This will allow configfs_detach_prep() to avoid locking i_mutexes. Locking rules for configfs_dirent linkage mutations are the same plus the requirement of taking configfs_dirent_lock. For configfs_dirent walking, one can either take appropriate i_mutex as before, or take configfs_dirent_lock. The spinlock could actually be a mutex, but the critical sections are either O(1) or should not be too long (default groups walking in last patch). ChangeLog: - Clarify the comment on configfs_dirent_lock usage - Move sd->s_element init before linking the new dirent - In lseek(), do not release configfs_dirent_lock before the dirent is relinked.
