configfs: dir.c fix possible recursive locking
PATCH 1/2 configfs: dir.c fix possible recursive locking
configfs_register_subsystem() with default_groups triggers recursive locking. it seems that mutex_lock_nested is needed.

swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
