From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit aff3bea95388299eec63440389b4545c8041b357 upstream. Treat i_data_sem for ea_inodes as being in their own lockdep class to avoid lockdep complaints about ext4_setattr's use of inode_lock() on normal inodes potentially causing lock ordering with i_data_sem on ea_inodes in ext4_xattr_inode_write(). However, ea_inodes will be operated on by ext4_setattr(), so this isn't a problem.
