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.
