ext4: fix lockdep warning about recursive inode locking
Setting a large xattr value may require writing the attribute contents
to an external inode. In this case we may need to lock the xattr inode
along with the parent inode. This doesn't pose a deadlock risk because
xattr inodes are not directly visible to the user and their access is
restricted.
Assign a lockdep subclass to xattr inode's lock.
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
4.12.0-rc1+ #740 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
python/1822 is trying to acquire lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff804912ca>] ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x65a/0x7b0
but task is already holding lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff803d6687>] vfs_setxattr+0x57/0xb0
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15);
