cuse: use mutex as registration lock instead of spinlocks
We need to check for name-collisions during cuse-device registration. To avoid race-conditions, this needs to be protected during the whole device registration. Therefore, replace the spinlocks by mutexes first so we can safely extend the locked regions to include more expensive or sleeping code paths.
