configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals
Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item has been removed from the tree. To do so, we * at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem exclusive and mark the fragment dead. * call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still alive. The main benefit is for method instances - they are guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors are still there. Another win is that we don't need to bother with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file - the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's been removed from the tree.
