Commit Message

The target driver prevents the users from changing
the database root directory if a target module like ib_srpt has
been registered, this makes it difficult for users to
set their preferred database directory if the module
gets loaded during the system boot.

Let the users modify dbroot if there are no registered devices

v2: add a mutex to protect against possible race conditions
