sysfs: fix race between readdir and lseek
commit 991f76f837bf22c5bb07261cfd86525a0a96650c upstream.
While readdir() is running, lseek() may set filp->f_pos as zero,
then may leave filp->private_data pointing to one sysfs_dirent
object without holding its reference counter, so the sysfs_dirent
object may be used after free in next readdir().
This patch holds inode->i_mutex to avoid the problem since
the lock is always held in readdir path.
