sysfs: suppress lockdep warnings
Lockdep issues the following warning:
[ 9.064000] =============================================

[ 9.064000] ---------------------------------------------
[ 9.064000] init/1 is trying to acquire lock:

[ 9.068000] =======================
This is due to sysfs_hash_and_remove() holding dir->d_inode->i_mutex
before calling sysfs_drop_dentry() which calls orphan_all_buffers()
which in turn takes node->i_mutex.
