Subject: [PATCH 2/3] reiserfs: Don't lock journal_init()
journal_init() doesn't need the lock since no operation
on the filesystem is involved there. journal_read() and
get_list_bitmap() have yet to be reviewed carefully though
before removing the lock there. Just keep the it around these
two calls for safety.
