If several threads concurrently call readdir() with the same directory
stream pointer, it is possible that they all get a pointer to the same
dirent structure, whose content is overwritten each time readdir() is
called.

We must thus serialize accesses to the dirent structure.

This may be achieved with a mutex like below:

lock_mutex();

readdir();

// work with the dirent

unlock_mutex();

This patch adds all the locking, to prepare the switch to readdir().
