commit c42dd069be8dfc9b2239a5c89e73bbd08ab35de0 upstream.
Backporting the patch to stable-v5.10.y to avoid race condition between configfs_dir_lseek and
configfs_lookup since they both operate ->s_childre and configfs_lookup
forgets to obtain the lock.
The patch deviates from the original patch because of code change.
The idea is to hold the configfs_dirent_lock when traversing
->s_children, which follows the core idea of the original patch.
