Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning

When tries to demote 1G hugetlb folios, a lockdep warning is observed:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.10.0-rc6-00452-ga4d0275fa660-dirty #79 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
bash/710 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8f0a7850 (&h->resize_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: demote_store+0x244/0x460

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8f0a6f48 (&h->resize_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: demote_store+0xae/0x460

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

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&h->resize_lock);
  lock(&h->resize_lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

4 locks held by bash/710:
 #0: ffff8f118439c3f0 (sb_writers#5){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksys_write+0x64/0xe0

 </TASK>

Lockdep considers this an AA deadlock because the different resize_lock
mutexes reside in the same lockdep class, but this is a false positive.
Place them in distinct classes to avoid these warnings.

v2:
 move lock_class_key into struct hstate and use __mutex_init per Muchun.
 Thanks.
