configfs: Protect configfs_dirent s_links list mutations
Symlinks to a config_item are listed under its configfs_dirent s_links, but the
list mutations are not protected by any common lock.
This patch uses the configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to add the necessary
protection.
Note: we should also protect the list_empty() test in configfs_detach_prep() but
1/ the lock should not be released immediately because nothing would prevent the
list from being filled after a successful list_empty() test, making the problem
tricky,
2/ this will be solved by the rmdir() vs rename() deadlock bugfix.
