xfs: fix directory inode iolock lockdep false positive
The change to add the IO lock to protect the directory extent map during readdir operations has cause lockdep to have a heart attack as it now sees a different locking order on inodes w.r.t. the mmap_sem because readdir has a different ordering to write(). Add a new lockdep class for directory inodes to avoid this false positive.
