xfs: fix directory inode iolock lockdep false positive

Browse source 
The change to add the IO lock to protect the directory extent map
during readdir operations has cause lockdep to have a heart attack
as it now sees a different locking order on inodes w.r.t. the
mmap_sem because readdir has a different ordering to write().

Add a new lockdep class for directory inodes to avoid this false
positive.

/*
* Directories have different lock order w.r.t. mmap_sem compared to regular
* files. This is due to readdir potentially triggering page faults on a user
* buffer inside filldir(), and this happens with the ilock on the directory
* held. For regular files, the lock order is the other way around - the
* mmap_sem is taken during the page fault, and then we lock the ilock to do
* block mapping. Hence we need a different class for the directory ilock so
* that lockdep can tell them apart.
