pstore: Protect unlink with read_mutex
When update_ms is set, pstore_get_records() will be called when there's a new entry. But unlink can be called at the same time and might contend with the open-read-close loop. Depending on the implementation of platform driver, it may be safe or not. But I think it'd be better to protect those race in the first place.
