kernfs: annotate different lockdep class for of->mutex of writable files
The writable file /sys/power/resume may call vfs lookup helpers for
arbitrary paths and readonly files can be read by overlayfs from vfs
helpers when sysfs is a lower layer of overalyfs.
To avoid a lockdep warning of circular dependency between overlayfs
inode lock and kernfs of->mutex, use a different lockdep class for
writable and readonly kernfs files.
