I took a quick look into using lockdep macros replacing the actual 
locks: Something along the lines of

lock_acquire(mm->mmap_sem.dep_map, 0, 0, 1, 1, NULL, _THIS_IP_);
> +	ww_mutex_lock(&obj.lock, NULL);
lock_acquire(obj.lock.dep_map, 0, 0, 0, 1, NULL, _THIS_IP_);
> +	fs_reclaim_acquire(GFP_KERNEL);
> +	fs_reclaim_release(GFP_KERNEL);
> +	ww_mutex_unlock(&obj.lock);

lock_release(obj.lock.dep_map, 0, _THIS_IP_);

> +	up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);

lock_release(obj.lock.dep_map, 0, _THIS_IP_);

Either way is fine with me, though.
