[PATCH 4.14 042/105] configfs_register_group() shouldnt be (and isnt) called in rmdirable parts

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f19e4ed1e1edbfa3c9ccb9fed17759b7d6db24c6 upstream.

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.
