ext4: Fix lockdep recursive locking warning
In ext4_mb_init_group(), if the filesystem block size is less than
PAGE_SIZE/2, the code tries to grab alloc_sem for multiple block
groups in a loop. We need to allow for this by using
down_write_nested() and passing in the loop index as a lock subclass
number. This works because no other code path needs to take multiple
alloc_sem's. Note that lockdep will fail for filesystem blocksize
smaller than to PAGE_SIZE/16k. (e.g., a 1k filesystem blocksize with
a 32k page size, or a 2k filesystem blocksize with a 64k blocksize,
etc.)
