Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/3] configfs+dlm+ocfs2: Convert subsystem semaphore to mutex

From: Satyam Sharma <ssatyam@....iitk.ac.in>

[2/3] configfs+dlm+ocfs2: Convert subsystem semaphore to mutex

Convert the su_sem member of struct configfs_subsystem to a struct mutex,
as that's what it is. Also convert all the users and update
Documentation/configfs.txt and Documentation/configfs_example.c accordingly.

[ This patch touches three different trees (configfs, dlm and ocfs2)
and I thought of splitting this up, but I guess there's little point in
splitting into smaller patches that won't even build without each other. ]
