Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm, notifier: Prime lockdep

We want to teach lockdep that mmu notifiers can be called from direct
reclaim paths, since on many CI systems load might never reach that
level (e.g. when just running fuzzer or small functional tests).

Motivated by a discussion with Jason.

I've put the annotation into mmu_notifier_register since only when we
have mmu notifiers registered is there any point in teaching lockdep
about them. Also, we already have a kmalloc(, GFP_KERNEL), so this is
safe.
