Subject: [patch 06/69] reiserfs: suppress lockdep warning

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Jeff Mahoney <[email protected]>

We're getting lockdep warnings due to a post-2.6.21-rc7 bugfix.

The xattr_sem can never be taken in the manner described. Internal inodes
are protected by I_PRIVATE. Add the appropriate annotation.
