configfs: Convert subsystem semaphore to mutex

Convert the su_sem member of struct configfs_subsystem to a struct
mutex, as that's what it is. Also convert all the users and update
Documentation/configfs.txt and Documentation/configfs_example.c
accordingly.

A subsystem consists of a toplevel config_group and a semaphore.
A subsystem consists of a toplevel config_group and a mutex.
The group is where child config_items are created. For a subsystem,
this group is usually defined statically. Before calling
configfs_register_subsystem(), the subsystem must have initialized the
group via the usual group _init() functions, and it must also have
initialized the semaphore.
initialized the mutex.
When the register call returns, the subsystem is live, and it
will be visible via configfs. At that point, mkdir(2) can be called and
the subsystem must be ready for it.

A subsystem can navigate the cg_children list and the ci_parent pointer
