Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: fix missing kernfs_iattr_rwsem locking

When the kernfs_iattr_rwsem was introduced a case was missed.

The update of the kernfs directory node child count was also protected
by the kernfs_rwsem and needs to be included in the change so that the
child count (and so the inode n_link attribute) does not change while
holding the rwsem for read.

Fixes: 9caf696142 (kernfs: Introduce separate rwsem to protect inode
attributes)
