[PATCH] coresight: configfs: Fix unload of configurations on module exit

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
