Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 4/6] configfs_register_group() shouldn't be (and isn't) called in rmdirable parts
Date
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit f19e4ed1e1edbfa3c9ccb9fed17759b7d6db24c6 ]

revert cc57c07343bd "configfs: fix registered group removal"
It was an attempt to handle something that fundamentally doesn't
work - configfs_register_group() should never be done in a part
of tree that can be rmdir'ed. And in mainline it never had been,
so let's not borrow trouble; the fix was racy anyway, it would take
a lot more to make that work and desired semantics is not clear.
