Subject: [PATCH mmotm 2/5] nilfs2: cleanup nilfs_clear_inode

This will remove the following unnecessary locks and cleanup code in
nilfs_clear_inode():

- unnecessary protection using nilfs_transaction_begin() and
  nilfs_transaction_end().

- cleanup code of i_dirty list field which is never chained
  when this function is called.

- spinlock used when releasing i_bh field.
