rtems_io_lookup_name is not re-enterant

[sjohnson]

rtems_io_lookup_name, due to a change in filesystem control could not retain the same calling semantics, without loosing it's ability to be re-enterant. This also creates potential race conditions as rtems_io_lookup_name is returning an adress of a static variable, which can be overwritten by a subsequent call to the function, while the previous caller is still using the reference.

Release:
Snapshot 20030128

Environment:
Linux, but any other would also exhibit problem

How-To-Repeat:
Use rtems_io_lookup_name twice, after the second call, the information returned by the first call is no longer valid, as it references the information required by the second call.
