[PATCH v3 1/2] coresight: configfs: Fix unload of configurations on module exit

[Mike Leach]

Any loaded configurations must be correctly unloaded on coresight module
exit, or issues can arise with nested locking in the configfs directory
code if built with CONFIG_LOCKDEP.

Prior to this patch, the preloaded configuration configfs directory entries
were being unloaded by the recursive code in
configfs_unregister_subsystem().

However, when built with CONFIG_LOCKDEP, this caused a nested lock warning,
which was not mitigated by the LOCKDEP dependent code in fs/configfs/dir.c
designed to prevent this, due to the different directory levels for the
root of the directory being removed.

As the preloaded (and all other) configurations are registered after
configfs_register_subsystem(), we now explicitly unload them before the
call to configfs_unregister_subsystem().

The new routine cscfg_unload_cfgs_on_exit() iterates through the load
owner list to unload any remaining configurations that were not unloaded
by the user before the module exits. This covers both the
CSCFG_OWNER_PRELOAD and CSCFG_OWNER_MODULE owner types, and will be
extended to cover future load owner types for CoreSight configurations.

Applies to coresight/next
