[PATCH v2 0/8] Support Clang context analysis for ext2

This description is mostly copied from v1:

This series adds annotations for Clang's context analysis to ext2.
Clang context analysis was recently added in a series by Marco
Elver [1]. This allows the compiler to validate different
locking patterns at compile time.

This series enables context analysis, fixes pre-existing warnings,
and adds new annotations. It is inspired by similar series in the
block layer (NVMe host driver, for example [2]).

I'm starting with ext2 since it's smaller and simpler compared to
ext4/btrfs/etc. After ext2, I'd be interested in converting the
other filesystems and infrastructure code in fs/. I think the ultimate
goal would be to enable this by default across all of fs/.

The series was built and tested with Clang 23 with
CONFIG_WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS enabled. I based on 7.2-rc7.

Thanks!

Changes from v1:

* A false positive has been fixed in Clang [3] and ported to Clang 23.
  Hence, the first patch (silencing that false positive) has been dropped.
* Use guard() and scoped_guard() instead of context_unsafe(), when
  possible, to express that certain fields are being protected by a newly
  initialized lock during init.
