[PATCH] lockdep: annotate the sysfs i_mutex to be a separate class

Browse source 
sysfs has a different i_mutex lock order behavior for i_mutex than the
other filesystems; sysfs i_mutex is called in many places with subsystem
locks held.  At the same time, many of the VFS locking rules do not apply
to sysfs at all (cross directory rename for example).  To untangle this
mess (which gives false positives in lockdep), we're giving sysfs inodes
their own class for i_mutex.
