configfs: Fix race between configfs_readdir() and configfs_d_iput()
configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the
dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently
instantiated. There is a race where a closing attribute file can be
tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its
inode number.
We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they
should match while instantiated. We can't lock down the transition
where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there.
We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in
configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it.
