i2c: suppress lockdep warning on delete_device

i2c: suppress lockdep warning on delete_device

Since commit 846f99749a the following lockdep
warning is thrown in case i2c device is removed (via delete_device sysfs
attribute) which contains subdevices (e.g. i2c multiplexer):

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.8.7-0-sampleversion-fct #8 Tainted: G           O
---------------------------------------------
bash/3743 is trying to acquire lock:
  (s_active#110){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffff802b3048>] sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x58/0xc8

but task is already holding lock:
  (s_active#110){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffff802b3cb8>] sysfs_write_file+0xc8/0x208

other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(s_active#110);
   lock(s_active#110);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

The problem is already known for USB and PCI subsystems. The reason is that
delete_device attribute is defined statically in i2c-core.c and used for all
devices in i2c subsystem.

Discussion of original USB problem:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1204.3/01160.html

Commit 356c05d58a introduced new macro to suppress
lockdep warnings for this special case and included workaround for USB code.

LKML discussion of the workaround:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1205.1/03634.html

As i2c case is in principle the same, the same workaround could be used here.
