Subject: [PATCH V9 01/11] fs/xfs: Remove unnecessary initialization of i_rwsem

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

An earlier call of xfs_reinit_inode() from xfs_iget_cache_hit() already
handles initialization of i_rwsem.

Doing so again is unneeded.

Changes from V4:
	Update commit message to make it clear the xfs_iget_cache_hit()
	is actually doing the initialization via xfs_reinit_inode()

New for V4:

NOTE: This was found while ensuring the new i_aops_sem was properly
handled.  It seems like this is a layering violation so I think it is
worth cleaning up so as to not confuse others.
