Subject: [PATCH 3/6] udf: Remove BKL

The lookup, create, mknod, mkdir, rmdir, unlink and symlink functions seems
already adequately protected by i_mutex held by VFS invoking calls.

In get_parent the BKL seems unecessary.

The rename function instead should be protected by lock_rename again
by VFS.

This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.
