Suppose I want to apply the current swapping code on top of this patch, I will have the following locks nested:

Pin_pages(A);-->
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested(&A->mm.lock, I915_MM_GET_PAGES); -->
lock 'struct_mutex'; -->
Find object B to swap out; -->
mutex_lock(&B->mm.lock); -->
create shadow object C; -->
mutex_lock_nested(&C->mm.lock, I915_MM_GET_PAGES);

Is this correct?  Should I lock shadow object C with 'I915_MM_GET_PAGES?   Then A and C are nested with the same subclass.
