[ Upstream commit 3d2825c8c6105b0f36f3ff72760799fa2e71420e ]

This patch fixes the following memory detected by kmemleak and umount
gfs2 filesystem which removed the last lockspace:

unreferenced object 0xffff9264f482f600 (size 192):
comm "dlm_controld", pid 325, jiffies 4294690276 (age 48.136s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 6e 6f 64 65 73 00 00 00 ........nodes...
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
[<00000000060481d7>] make_space+0x41/0x130
[<000000008d905d46>] configfs_mkdir+0x1a2/0x5f0

[<00000000ce9ccf01>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The patch just remembers the "nodes" entry pointer in space as I think
it's created as subdirectory when parent "spaces" is created. In
function drop_space() we will lost the pointer reference to nds because
configfs_remove_default_groups(). However as this subdirectory is always
available when "spaces" exists it will just be freed when "spaces" will be
freed.
