Subject: [PATCH 4/5] reiserfs: Safely acquire i_mutex from reiserfs_for_each_xattr

Relax the reiserfs lock before taking the inode mutex from
reiserfs_for_each_xattr() to avoid the usual bad dependencies:

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.32-atom #179
-------------------------------------------------------
rm/3242 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#4/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<c11428ef>] reiserfs_for_each_xattr+0x23f/0x290

but task is already holding lock:
 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c1143389>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x29/0x40

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}:
       [<c105ea7f>] __lock_acquire+0x11ff/0x19e0

       [<c1002ec4>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x32

-> #0 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#4/3){+.+.+.}:
       [<c105f176>] __lock_acquire+0x18f6/0x19e0
       [<c105f2c8>] lock_acquire+0x68/0x90

       [<c1002ec4>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x32

other info that might help us debug this:

1 lock held by rm/3242:
 #0:  (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c1143389>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x29/0x40
