kernfs: protect lazy kernfs_iattrs allocation with mutex kernfs_iattrs is allocated lazily when operations which require it take place; unfortunately, the lazy allocation and returning weren't properly synchronized and when there are multiple concurrent operations, it might end up returning kernfs_iattrs which hasn't finished initialization yet or different copies to different callers. Fix it by synchronizing with a mutex. This can be smarter with memory barriers but let's go there if it actually turns out to be necessary.
