It appears that configfs_rmdir() can protect configfs_detach_prep() retries with
less calls to {spin,mutex}_{lock,unlock}, and a cleaner code.
This patch does not change any behavior, except that it removes two useless
lock/unlock pairs having nothing inside to protect and providing a useless
barrier.
