[PATCH 01/15] sysfs: Update sysfs_setxattr so it updates secdata under the sysfs_mutex

["Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@maxwell.aristanetworks.com>

The sysfs_mutex is required to ensure updates are and will remain
atomic with respect to other inode iattr updates, that do not happen
through the filesystem.
