Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hfs: add lock nesting notation to hfs_find_init

Syzbot reports a possible recursive lock:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f007ef1d7a31a469e3be7aeb0fde0769b18585db

This happens due to missing lock nesting information. From the logs,
we see that a call to hfs_fill_super is made to mount the hfs
filesystem. While searching for the root inode, the lock on the
catalog btree is grabbed. Then, when the parent of the root isn't
found, a call to __hfs_bnode_create is made to create the parent of
the root. This eventually leads to a call to hfs_ext_read_extent which
grabs a lock on the extents btree.

Since the order of locking is catalog btree -> extents btree, this
lock hierarchy does not lead to a deadlock.

To tell lockdep that this locking is safe, we add nesting notation to
distinguish between catalog btrees, extents btrees, and attributes
btrees (for HFS+). This has already been done in hfsplus.
