Duplicate the i_mutex and i_dir_mutex lock classes and use for unionmount upper
layer superblock instead of the normal lock classes. This solves some of the
lockdep noise when the VFS tries to hold locks on inodes in both layers at the
same time. Note these only occur if both layers are of the same filesystem
type.
As far as I can tell, most of the lockdep warnings are false positives since
the inodes being locked are part of different superblocks; however, because
lockdep works on lock *classes*, it can't determine this.
I suspect that giving each superblock its own lock class would overextend
lockdep.
