watch_queue: Fix missing locking in add_watch_to_object()
If a watch is being added to a queue, it needs to guard against
interference from addition of a new watch, manual removal of a watch and
removal of a watch due to some other queue being destroyed.
KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY guards against this for the same {key,queue} pair by
holding the key->sem writelocked and by holding refs on both the key and
the queue - but that doesn't prevent interaction from other {key,queue}
pairs.
While add_watch_to_object() does take the spinlock on the event queue,
it doesn't take the lock on the source's watch list. The assumption was
that the caller would prevent that (say by taking key->sem) - but that
doesn't prevent interference from the destruction of another queue.
Fix this by locking the watcher list in add_watch_to_object().
