[PATCH v3 3/3] jffs2: put directories f->sem on a separate lockdep class

[Helmut Grohne <helmut.grohne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We get a lockdep warning if we read a directory (e.g. ls) and fault a
page on a regular file:

[  181.206207] mmaptest/392 is trying to acquire lock:
[  181.211066]  (&f->sem){+.+.}, at: [<c01ff7d8>] jffs2_readpage+0x30/0x5c
[  181.217663]
[  181.217663] but task is already holding lock:
[  181.223477]  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: [<c04928e8>] do_page_fault+0xa8/0x454
[  181.230596]
[  181.230596] which lock already depends on the new lock.
[  181.230596]
[  181.238755]
[  181.238755] the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
[  181.246219]
[  181.246219] -> #1 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}:
[  181.251614]        __might_fault+0x90/0xc0

[  181.271576]        ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x28
[  181.275818]
[  181.275818] -> #0 (&f->sem){+.+.}:
[  181.280690]        lock_acquire+0xfc/0x2b0
[  181.284763]        __mutex_lock+0x8c/0xb0c

[  181.305510]        handle_mm_fault+0x854/0xec0
[  181.309937]        do_page_fault+0x384/0x454
[  181.314188]        do_DataAbort+0x4c/0xc8
[  181.318181]        __dabt_usr+0x44/0x60
[  181.321999]        0xb6dffb02

Like with inode->i_rwsem, we recognize that this can never result in a
dead lock, because we cannot page fault directory inodes and we cannot
call getdents on non-directories. Thus we need different lockdep classes
depending on the mode. This mirrors what
lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key does to inodes.
