When tries to demote 1G hugetlb folios, a lockdep warning is observed:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.10.0-rc6-00452-ga4d0275fa660-dirty #79 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
bash/710 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8f0a7850 (&h->resize_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: demote_store+0x244/0x460
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8f0a6f48 (&h->resize_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: demote_store+0xae/0x460
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&h->resize_lock);
lock(&h->resize_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Lockdep considers this an AA deadlock because the different resize_lock
mutexes reside in the same lockdep class, but this is a false positive.
Place them in distinct classes to avoid these warnings.
