[PATCH 3/3] mm, notifier: Add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start

[Daniel Vetter]

This is a similar idea to the fs_reclaim fake lockdep lock. It's
fairly easy to provoke a specific notifier to be run on a specific
range: Just prep it, and then munmap() it.

A bit harder, but still doable, is to provoke the mmu notifiers for
all the various callchains that might lead to them. But both at the
same time is really hard to reliable hit, especially when you want to
exercise paths like direct reclaim or compaction, where it's not
easy to control what exactly will be unmapped.

By introducing a lockdep map to tie them all together we allow lockdep
to see a lot more dependencies, without having to actually hit them
in a single challchain while testing.

Aside: Since I typed this to test i915 mmu notifiers I've only rolled
this out for the invaliate_range_start callback. If there's
interest, we should probably roll this out to all of them. But my
undestanding of core mm is seriously lacking, and I'm not clear on
whether we need a lockdep map for each callback, or whether some can
be shared.
