fs/configfs: allow to create groups on demand

Subject: [PATCH] fs/configfs: allow to create groups on demand

This patch adds a function add a group to an existing one and its counterart. The newly created group behaves as it would be created via default_groups[] which means the user can't rmdir it.
This should be used by the upcomming USB gadget interface in order to add the currently available UDCs as a child of the UDC node. The UDC itself will appear once the hardware driver is loaded and can appear later.
