Subject: [PATCH 2/2] i2c: mux: annotate the nested rt_mutex usage

If an i2c topology has instances of nested muxes, then a lockdep splat
is produced when when i2c_parent_lock_bus() is called.  Here is an
example:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
insmod/68159 is trying to acquire lock:
  (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux]

but task is already holding lock:
  (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux]

other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(i2c_register_adapter#2);
   lock(i2c_register_adapter#2);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

1 lock held by insmod/68159:
  #0:  (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50
[i2c_mux]
