Subject[PATCH 15/15] sysfs: Protect sysfs_refresh_inode with inode mutex.
Date
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@maxwell.aristanetworks.com>

In general everything that writes to vfs inodes holds the
inode mutex, so hold the inode mutex over sysfs_refresh_inode.
The sysfs data structures don't need this but it looks like the
vfs might.
