Subject: [PATCH] freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir

Commit 7b2fd697427e73c81d5fa659efd91bd07d303b0e in the historical GIT tree
stopped calling the readdir member of a file_operations struct with the big
kernel lock held, and fixed up all the readdir functions to do their own
locking.  However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in vxfs_readdir,
but no call to lock_kernel().  Fix this by adding a call to lock_kernel().
