While the lockdep splat is a false positive, becuase path_openat holds i_mutex
of the parent directory and ubifs_init_security() tries to acquire i_mutex
of a new inode, it reveals that taking i_mutex in ubifs_init_security() is
in vain because it is only being called in the inode allocation path
and therefore nobody else can see the inode yet.
