Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: always read hashed-key nodes under TNC mutex

From: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@...ia.com>

Leaf-nodes that have a hashed key are stored in the
leaf-node-cache (LNC) which is protected by the TNC
mutex.  Consequently, when reading a leaf node with
a hashed key (i.e. directory entries, xattr entries)
the TNC mutex is always required.
