[PATCH 01/10] devtmpfs: Convert dirlock to a mutex

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

devtmpfs has a rw_lock dirlock which serializes delete_path and
create_path.

This code was obviously never tested with the usual set of debugging
facilities enabled. In the dirlock held sections the code calls:

 - vfs functions which take mutexes
 - kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL)

In both code pathes the might sleep warning triggers and spams dmesg.

Convert the rw_lock to a mutex. There is no reason why this needs to
be a rwlock.
