-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.
