Subject: [PATCH 3.14 40/98] clk: Really fix deadlock with mmap_sem

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@...eaurora.org>

commit 89f7e9de59bf3e3cda2e00de12c66db22675a7cf upstream.

Commit 6314b6796e3c (clk: Don't hold prepare_lock across debugfs
creation, 2014-09-04) forgot to update one place where we hold
the prepare_lock while creating debugfs directories. This means
we still have the chance of a deadlock that the commit was trying
to fix. Actually fix it by moving the debugfs creation outside
the prepare_lock.
