Subject: hugetlbfs: lockdep annotate root inode properly
This fixes the below reported false lockdep warning. e096d0c7e2e4
("lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation") added
a similar annotation for every other inode in hugetlbfs but missed the
root inode because it was allocated by a separate function.
For HugeTLB fs we allow taking i_mutex in mmap. HugeTLB fs doesn't
support file write and its file read callback is modified in a05b0855fd
("hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()") to not take
i_mutex. Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take
i_mutex with mmap_sem held.
