Subject: [RFC][PATCH 8/7] lockdep: annotate mm_take_all_locks()

Subject: lockdep: annotate mm_take_all_locks()

The nesting is correct due to holding mmap_sem, use the new annotation
to annotate this.

This doesn't solve the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH issue, but 48 seems enough for
the current kvm usage, which does this early on in the life of an mm.
