[PATCH] configfs: Fix open directory making rmdir() fail

When checking for user-created elements under an item to be removed by rmdir(),
configfs_detach_prep() counts fake configfs_dirents created by dir_open() as
user-created and fails when finding one. It is however perfectly valid to remove
a directory that is open.

Simply make configfs_detach_prep() skip fake configfs_dirent, like it already
does for attributes, and like detach_groups() does.
