Pull sysfs fix from Al Viro: "Get rid of lockdep false positives around sysfs/overlayfs syzbot has uncovered a class of lockdep false positives for setups with sysfs being one of the backing layers in overlayfs. The root cause is that of->mutex allocated when opening a sysfs file read-only (which overlayfs might do) is confused with of->mutex of a file opened writable (held in write to sysfs file, which overlayfs won't do). Assigning them separate lockdep classes fixes that bunch and it's obviously safe" * tag 'pull-sysfs-annotation-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: kernfs: annotate different lockdep class for of->mutex of writable files
