[PATCH 08/10] pstore: Add locking around superblock changes

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed May 06 2020 - 11:22:05 EST


Nothing was protecting changes to the pstorefs superblock. Add locking
and refactor away is_pstore_mounted(), instead using a helper to add a
way to safely lock the pstorefs root inode during filesystem changes.
