The approach for adding a device to the devices_idr data structure
and for removing it is as follows:
* &dev->dev_group.cg_item is initialized before a device is added
  to devices_idr.
* If the reference count of a device drops to zero then
  target_free_device() removes the device from devices_idr.
* All devices_idr manipulations are protected by device_mutex.

This means that increasing the reference count of a device is
sufficient to prevent removal from devices_idr and also that it is
safe access dev_group.cg_item for any device that is referenced by
devices_idr. Use this to modify target_find_device() and
target_for_each_device() such that these functions no longer
introduce a dependency between device_mutex and the configfs root
inode mutex.

Note: it is safe to pass a NULL pointer to config_item_put() and
also to config_item_get_unless_zero().

This patch prevents that lockdep reports the following complaint:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
4.12.0-rc1-dbg+ #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
rmdir/12053 is trying to acquire lock:
 (device_mutex#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa010afce>] target_free_device+0xae/0xf0 [target_core_mod]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff811c5c30>] vfs_rmdir+0x50/0x140

which lock already depends on the new lock.
