[PATCH 004 of 4] Avoid lockdep warning in md.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.
This (normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible
conflict is with a reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member
hierarchy a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger
problems than a deadlock and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires
defining mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.
