No.  These need meaningful names.  Indeed, I think D_LOCK_NESTED is
a terrible name.

Looking at the calls:

$ git grep -n nested.*d_lock fs
fs/autofs/expire.c:82:          spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:619:                spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:1086:       spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:1303:               spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:2822:               spin_lock_nested(&old_parent->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:2827:                       spin_lock_nested(&target->d_parent->d_lock,
fs/dcache.c:2830:       spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, 2);
fs/dcache.c:2831:       spin_lock_nested(&target->d_lock, 3);
fs/dcache.c:3121:       spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/libfs.c:112:                 spin_lock_nested(&d->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/libfs.c:341:         spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/notify/fsnotify.c:129:                       spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);

Most of these would be well-expressed by DENTRY_D_LOCK_CHILD.

The exception is __d_move() where I think we should actually name the
different lock classes instead of using a bare '2' and '3'.  Something
like this, perhaps:
