config fs: avoid switching ->d_op on live dentry
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix configfs so as not to do this.
