Subject: [PATCH V2 1/3] dcache: add a new enum type for 'dentry_d_lock_class'

'dentry_d_lock_class' can be used for spin_lock_nested in case lockdep
confused about two different dentry take the 'd_lock'.

However, a single 'DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED' may not be enough if more than
two dentry are involed. So, add in 'DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED_TWICE'.
