====================================================

It's because that we don't do the right thing when checking if it's ok to
tell lockdep that we're trying to release the rwsem.

If the trans handle's type is TRANS_ATTACH, we won't acquire the freeze rwsem, but
as TRANS_ATTACH fits the check (trans < TRANS_JOIN_NOLOCK), we'll release the freeze
rwsem, which makes lockdep complains a lot.
