[RFC 1/2] fs: configfs: add check_rmdir operation

[Andrzej Pietrasiewicz]

The logic behind a subsystem which uses configfs might be that it is not
desired to allow removing the pseudo directories (items or groups) in a
mounted configfs while some criterion is not met, e.g. while some
actions are in progress. This patch adds a check_rmdir operation to
configfs_item_operations and to configfs_group_operations. The operation,
if provided, is called before actual remove takes place and if the result
is nonzero, the remove is not done and the error it returns is reported.
