kernfs: use dumber locking for kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() uses RCU protection. It's currently a bit buggy because it can look up a node which hasn't been activated yet and thus may end up exposing a node that the kernfs user is still prepping. While it can be fixed by pushing it further in the current direction, it's already complicated and isn't clear whether the complexity is justified. The main use of kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() is for exportfs operations. They aren't super hot and all the follow-up operations (e.g. mapping to path) use normal locking anyway. Let's switch to a dumber locking scheme and protect the lookup with kernfs_idr_lock.
