lockdep, mutex: provide mutex_lock_nest_lock
In order to convert i_mmap_lock to a mutex we need a mutex equivalent to spin_lock_nest_lock(), thus provide the mutex_lock_nest_lock() annotation. As with spin_lock_nest_lock(), mutex_lock_nest_lock() allows annotation of the locking pattern where an outer lock serializes the acquisition order of nested locks. That is, if every time you lock multiple locks A, say A1 and A2 you first acquire N, the order of acquiring A1 and A2 is irrelevant.
