This is a known false positive because inodes cannot simultaneously be
getting reclaimed and the target of a getxattr operation, but lockdep
doesn't know that. We can (selectively) shut up lockdep until either
it gets smarter or we change inode reclaim not to require the ILOCK by
applying a stupid GFP_NOLOCKDEP bandaid.
