Nelson Elhage d8805e633e epoll: fix spurious lockdep warnings 
epoll can acquire recursively acquire ep->mtx on multiple "struct
eventpoll"s at once in the case where one epoll fd is monitoring another
epoll fd.  This is perfectly OK, since we're careful about the lock
ordering, but it causes spurious lockdep warnings.  Annotate the recursion
using mutex_lock_nested, and add a comment explaining the nesting rules
for good measure.

Recent versions of systemd are triggering this, and it can also be
demonstrated with the following trivial test program:

--------------------8<--------------------

int main(void) {
   int e1, e2;
   struct epoll_event evt = {
       .events = EPOLLIN
   };

   e1 = epoll_create1(0);
   e2 = epoll_create1(0);
   epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
   return 0;
}
