configfs: fix a race in configfs_lookup()

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.15-rc1
commit c42dd069
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 187567, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5PK1G


CVE: NA

--------------------------------

When configfs_lookup() is executing list_for_each_entry(),
it is possible that configfs_dir_lseek() is calling list_del().
Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause a kernel NULL
pointer dereference error

Thread 1                  Thread 2
//configfs_dir_lseek()    //configfs_lookup()
list_del(&cursor->s_sibling);
                         list_for_each_entry(sd, ...)

Fix this by grabbing configfs_dirent_lock in configfs_lookup()
while iterating ->s_children.
