sysfs: fix race condition around sd->s_dentry, take#2
Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means
sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field
are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds
sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry.
Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The
validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry
is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.
This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel
branch.
