When creating a config_group (resp. registering a subsystem) with nested default
groups, lockdep raises a warning since it sees a lock recursion of class
I_MUTEX_CHILD in populate_groups().
This patch makes such default groups creations lockdep-friendly by increasing
the i_mutex sub-class from I_MUTEX_CHILD onwards when descending the default
groups tree.
With this patch the depth of default group trees is limited to
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES - I_MUTEX_CHILD - 1 == 3. This limit is removed when not
compiling lockdep.
