efivars, efi-pstore: Hold off deletion of sysfs entry until the scan is completed

commit e0d59733f6b1796b8d6692642c87d7dd862c3e3a upstream.

Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of
efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below.

- In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass
  a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer.
- In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry
  and pass another kmsg buffer to it.
- Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list.

In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function
calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process
above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in
close().

At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore
filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning.

To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock,
holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it
via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed.

To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting,
to efivar_entry.

On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is
not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the
EFI variable store.

But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an
efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows.

In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data.  And
efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by
releasing  __efivars->lock.

And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the
same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan
a sysfs-list.

So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.
