Configfs being based upon sysfs code, config_group_find_obj() is probably
so named because of the similar kset_find_obj() in sysfs. However,
"kobject"s in sysfs become "config_item"s in configfs, so let's call it
config_group_find_item() instead, for sake of uniformity, and make
corresponding change in the users of this function.
BTW a crucial difference between kset_find_obj and config_group_find_item
is in locking expectations. kset_find_obj does its locking by itself, but
config_group_find_item expects the *caller* to do the locking. The reason
for this: kset's have their own locks, config_group's don't but instead
rely on the subsystem mutex. And, subsystem needn't necessarily be around
when config_group_find_item() is called.
So let's state these locking semantics explicitly, and rectify the comment,
otherwise bugs could continue to occur in future, as they did in the past
(refer commit d82b8191e238 in gfs2-2.6-fixes.git).
