configfs_unregister_subsystem() nests a pair of inode i_mutex acquisitions,

This is mostly included for parity with dec_nlink(), where we will have some
more hooks.  This one should stay pretty darn straightforward for now.

For all child objects, creation comes through mkdir(2), so duplicate names
are prevented.

Subsystems, though, are registered by client drivers at init_module()/__init
time.  This patch prevents duplicate subsystem names.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.
