The kernel can end up taking a configfs lock then call up to userspace, so we must not have a lock that is taken in this upcall and is taken when interacting with configfs. As reported by sherlockxiao: open-iscsi#595 this happens with the state_lock where during deletion the kernel will hold the state_lock, but some code paths will hold the state_lock while calling into configfs. This moves our configfs access out of the state_lock.
