[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: Give the DRM device's anon_inode a unique lockclass for its mmap_rswem

Teach lockdep to track the device's internal mmapping separately
from the generic lockclass over all other inodes. Since this is device
private we wish to allow a different locking hierarchy than is typified
by the requirement for the mmap_rwsem being the outermost lock for
handling pagefaults. By giving the internal mmap_rwsem a distinct
lockclass, lockdep can identify it and learn/enforce its distinct locking
requirements.
