xfs: hide metadata inodes from everyone because they are special
Metadata inodes are private files and therefore cannot be exposed to userspace. This means no bulkstat, no open-by-handle, no linking them into the directory tree, and no feeding them to LSMs. As such, we mark them S_PRIVATE, which stops all that. While we're at it, put them in a separate lockdep class so that it won't get confused by "recursive" i_rwsem locking such as what happens when we write to a rt file and need to allocate from the rt bitmap file.
