[PATCH] kernfs: Clarify lockdep name for kn->count

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu Aug 17 2017 - 11:50:19 EST


The reference count in kernfs_node structure is treated like a rwsem by
using lockdep instrumentation code. The lockdep name, however, is still
"s_active" which is carried over from the old sysfs code. As s_active
is no longer the variable name, its use may confuse users on where the
lock is when it is reported by lockdep. So it is changed to "kn->count"
which is how this variable is normally referenced in kernfs code.
