sysfs: fix use after free in case of concurrent read/write and readdir
The inode->i_mutex isn't hold when updating filp->f_pos in read()/write(), so the filp->f_pos might be read as 0 or 1 in readdir() when there is concurrent read()/write() on this same file, then may cause use after free in readdir(). The bug can be reproduced with Li Zefan's test code on the link: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2160771/ This patch fixes the use after free under this situation.
