[PATCH v2 1/4] fs: configfs: Add unlocked version of configfs_depend_item()

[Krzysztof Opasiak]

Sometimes it might be desirable to prohibit removing a directory
in configfs. One example is USB gadget (mass_storage function):
when gadget is already bound, if lun directory is removed,
the gadget must be thrown away, too. A better solution would be
to fail with e.g. -EBUSY.

Currently configfs has configfs_depend/undepend_item() methods
but they cannot be used in configfs callbacks. This commit
adds unlocked version of this methods which can be used
only in configfs callbacks.
