Subject: [PATCH] configfs: fix a race in configfs_lookup() in stable-5.10.y

Basically porting c42dd069be8dfc9b2239a5c89e73bbd08ab35de0 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.
