configfs: fix race between dentry put and lookup

Browse source 
commit 76ae281f63 upstream.

A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end
before configfs_d_iput is called.  In this window, if a lookup happen,
since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be
allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be
updated to the new dentry.  Then in configfs_d_iput(),
BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic.

sys_open:                     sys_close:
 ...                           fput
                                dput
                                 dentry_kill
                                  __d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here,
                                           but sd->dentry still point
                                           to this dentry.

                                     configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry)
                                                     triggered here.

To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if
sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd
beside the one that is going to be put.  Use configfs_dirent_lock in
configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput.

With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug.

1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and
   fill configure in it.

2. run the following script.
	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
	while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
