This patch fixes one lockdep warning[1] inside usb_stor_pre_reset. If the current configuration includes multiple mass storage interfaces, the 'AA' lockdep warning will be triggered since the lock class of 'us->dev_mutex' is acquired two times in .reset path. It isn't a real deadlock, so just take the mutex_lock_nested annotation to remove the warning.
