Nested locking with lockdep and everything else refers to lock hierarchy within the same lock map. This is how we indicate the same locks for different objects are ok to take in a specific order, for our use case that would be to take the lock on a leaf and then take a lock on an adjacent leaf. What ->lock_nested _actually_ refers to is if we happen to already be holding the write lock on the extent buffer and we're allowing a read lock to be taken on that extent buffer, which is recursion. Rename this so we don't get confused when we switch to a rwsem and have to start using the _nested helpers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
