configfs: dir.c fix possible recursive locking
configfs_register_subsystem() with default_groups triggers recursive locking.
it seems that mutex_lock_nested is needed.
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.24-rc6 #141
---------------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3){--..}, at: [<c40ca76f>] configfs_attach_group+0x4f/0x190
but task is already holding lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3){--..}, at: [<c40ca9d5>] configfs_register_subsystem+0x55/0x130
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/1:
#0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3){--..}, at: [<c40ca9d5>] configfs_register_subsystem+0x55/0x130
