configfs: fix config_item refcnt leak in configfs_rmdir()
configfs_rmdir() invokes configfs_get_config_item(), which returns a
reference of the specified config_item object to "parent_item" with
increased refcnt.
When configfs_rmdir() returns, local variable "parent_item" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
configfs_rmdir(). When down_write_killable() fails, the function forgets
to decrease the refcnt increased by configfs_get_config_item(), causing
a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling config_item_put() when down_write_killable()
fails.
