Subject: [PATCH 25/28] CacheFiles: Mark parent directory locks as
	I_MUTEX_PARENT to keep lockdep happy

Mark parent directory locks as I_MUTEX_PARENT in the callers of
cachefiles_bury_object() so that lockdep doesn't complain when that invokes
vfs_unlink():

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.32-rc6-cachefs #47
---------------------------------------------
kslowd002/3089 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#7){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810bbf72>] vfs_unlink+0x8b/0x128

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#7){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa00e4e61>] cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x1b0/0x831 [cachefiles]

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by kslowd002/3089:
 #0:  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#7){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa00e4e61>] cachefiles_walk_to_object+0x1b0/0x831 [cachefiles]
