xen: use spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetable
When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page). Because all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that we're potentially taking a lock recursively. This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while holding mm->page_table_lock. lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep knows what's going on.
