mrlock_init() does allocate a class (well rwsem_init, really), but sets
the name to a stringified version of the lock argument.
The lockdep_set_class*() interface is only guaranteed to work on a
freshly initialized lock structure -- which in this case is a bit of a
waste, but for debugging purposes would allow setting a clearer name.
Alternatively, you can write the code like:
xfs_inode_t dead_ip = XFS_I(inode);
mrlock_init(&dead_ip->i_iolock, ...);
In which case its also obvious, as that would result in:
(&(&dead_ip->i_iolock)->mr_lock)
as opposed to:
(&(&ip->i_iolock)->mr_lock)
