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.

The configfs system is a source of access to the config information in the
configuration and feature lists.
This can result in additional LOCKDEP issues as a result of the mutex
ordering between the config list mutex (cscfg_mutex) and the configfs
system mutexes.
As such we need to adjust how load/unload operations work to ensure correct
operation.
1) Previously the cscfg_mutex was held throughout the load/unload
operation. This is now only held during configuration list manipulations,
resulting in a multi-stage load/unload process.
2) All operations that manipulate the configfs representation of the
configurations and features are now separated out and run without the
cscfg_mutex being held. This avoids circular lock_dep issue with the
built-in configfs mutexes and semaphores
3) As the load and unload is now multi-stage, some parts under the
cscfg_mutex and others not:
i) A flag indicating a load / unload operation in progress is used to
serialise load / unload operations.
ii) activating any configuration not possible when unload is in progress.
iii) Configurations have an "available" flag set only after the last load
stage for the configuration is complete. Activation of the configuration
not possible till flag is set.
4) Following load/unload rules remain:
i) Unload prevented while any configuration is active remains.
ii) Unload in strict reverse order of load.
iii) Existing configurations can be activated while a new load operation
is underway. (by definition there can be no dependencies between an
existing configuration and a new loading one due to ii) above.)
