Subject: [PATCH 25/27] r-o-bind-mounts-track-number-of-mount-writers-make-lockdep-happy-with-r-o-bind-mounts



With the r/o bind mount patches, we can have as many
spinlocks nested as there are CPUs on the system.
Lockdep freaks out after 8.

So, create a new lockdep class of locks for the
mnt_writer spinlocks, and initialize each of the
cpu locks to be in a different class.

It should shut up warnings like this, while still
allowing some of the lockdep goodness to remain:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
