    ext4: add lockdep annotations for i_data_sem · 68515519

    commit daf647d2 upstream.
    
    With the internal Quota feature, mke2fs creates empty quota inodes and
    quota usage tracking is enabled as soon as the file system is mounted.
    Since quotacheck is no longer preallocating all of the blocks in the
    quota inode that are likely needed to be written to, we are now seeing
    a lockdep false positive caused by needing to allocate a quota block
    from inside ext4_map_blocks(), while holding i_data_sem for a data
    inode.  This results in this complaint:
    
      Possible unsafe locking scenario:
    
            CPU0                    CPU1
            ----                    ----
       lock(&ei->i_data_sem);
                                    lock(&s->s_dquot.dqio_mutex);
                                    lock(&ei->i_data_sem);
       lock(&s->s_dquot.dqio_mutex);
