Majianpeng reported a lockdep splat for f2fs. It turns out mutex_lock_all()
acquires an array of locks (in global/local lock style).
Any such operation is always serialized using cp_mutex, therefore there is no
fs_lock[] lock-order issue; tell lockdep about this using the
mutex_lock_nest_lock() primitive.
