sysfs: give different locking key to regular and bin files
027a485d12e0 ("sysfs: use a separate locking class for open files depending on mmap") assigned different lockdep key to sysfs_open_file->mutex depending on whether the file implements mmap or not in an attempt to avoid spurious lockdep warning caused by merging of regular and bin file paths. While this restored some of the original behavior of using different locks (at least lockdep is concerned) for the different clases of files. The restoration wasn't full because now the lockdep key assignment depends on whether the file has mmap or not instead of whether it's a regular file or not. This means that bin files which don't implement mmap will get assigned the same lockdep class as regular files. This is problematic because file_operations for bin files still implements the mmap file operation and checking whether the sysfs file actually implements mmap happens in the file operation after grabbing @sysfs_open_file->mutex. We still end up adding locking dependency from mmap locking to sysfs_open_file->mutex to the regular file mutex which triggers spurious circular locking warning. Fix it by restoring the original behavior fully by differentiating lockdep key by whether the file is regular or bin, instead of the existence of mmap.
