lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation

Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists.  As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.

We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes.  Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).

In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.

The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that.  As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:

    find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
    vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361
          [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45
          [<ffffffff811daa87>] hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x82/0x110
          [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432
          [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306
          [<ffffffff81111b4f>] sys_mmap_pgoff+0x118/0x16a
          [<ffffffff8100c858>] sys_mmap+0x22/0x24
          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

    -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
          [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff81109541>] might_fault+0x89/0xac
          [<ffffffff81149cff>] filldir+0x6f/0xc7
          [<ffffffff811586ea>] dcache_readdir+0x67/0x205
          [<ffffffff81149f54>] vfs_readdir+0x7b/0xb4
          [<ffffffff8114a073>] sys_getdents+0x7e/0xd1
          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper
function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs
call it.
