fsnotify: create helpers for group mark_mutex lock



Create helpers to take and release the group mark_mutex lock.

Define a flag FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS in fsnotify_group that determines
if the mark_mutex lock is fs reclaim safe or not.  If not safe, the
lock helpers take the lock and disable direct fs reclaim.

In that case we annotate the mutex with a different lockdep class to
express to lockdep that an allocation of mark of an fs reclaim safe group
may take the group lock of another "NOFS" group to evict inodes.

For now, converted only the callers in common code and no backend
defines the NOFS flag.  It is intended to be set by fanotify for
evictable marks support.
