This patch should take care of that particular warning, please let me know
if it doesn't. I'll carry it in ocfs2.git shortly.

Hmm, I get other warnings from configfs starting and stopping the ocfs2
cluster stack, so I bet we've got some more mutex_lock() calls in there to
change to mutex_lock_nested():

[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.19-rc2 #1
---------------------------------------------
o2cb_ctl/2457 is trying to acquire lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02ff984>] mutex_lock+0x21/0x24

but task is already holding lock:
(&inode->i_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02ff984>] mutex_lock+0x21/0x24

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by o2cb_ctl/2457:

configfs: mutex_lock_nested() fix

configfs_unregister_subsystem() nests a pair of inode i_mutex acquisitions,
and thus needs annotation via mutex_lock_nested().
