base: make module_create_drivers_dir race-free
Modules which register drivers via standard path (driver_register) in
parallel can cause a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3492 at ../fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80

As can be (mostly) seen, driver_register causes this call sequence:
-> bus_add_driver
-> module_add_driver
-> module_create_drivers_dir
The last one creates "drivers" directory in /sys/module/<...>. When
this is done in parallel, the directory is attempted to be created
twice at the same time.
This can be easily reproduced by loading mxb and hexium_gemini in
parallel:
while :; do
modprobe mxb &
modprobe hexium_gemini
wait
rmmod mxb hexium_gemini saa7146_vv saa7146
done
saa7146 calls pci_register_driver for both mxb and hexium_gemini,
which means /sys/module/saa7146/drivers is to be created for both of
them.
Fix this by a new mutex in module_create_drivers_dir which makes the
test-and-create "drivers" dir atomic.
I inverted the condition and removed 'return' to avoid multiple
unlocks or a goto.
