[PATCH] hugetlbfs: lockdep annotate root inode properly

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This fix the below reported false lockdep warning. e096d0c7e2e4e5893792db865dd065ac73cf1f00
did 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 a05b0855fd15504972dba2358e5faa172a1e50ba
to not take i_mutex. Hence for HugeTLB fs with regular files we really don't take
i_mutex with mmap_sem held.

 -------------------------------------------------------
 bash/1572 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff810f1618>] might_fault+0x40/0x90

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#12){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81125f88>] vfs_readdir+0x56/0xa8

 which lock already depends on the new lock.


 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

        [<ffffffff810a09e5>] lock_acquire+0xd5/0xfa
        [<ffffffff810f1645>] might_fault+0x6d/0x90
