Subject: [PATCH 3/3] afs: use read_seqbegin() in afs_check_validity() and
 afs_getattr()

David Howells says:

 (3) afs_check_validity().
 (4) afs_getattr().

     These are both pretty short, so your solution is probably good for them.
     That said, afs_vnode_commit_status() can spend a long time under the
     write lock - and pretty much every file RPC op returns a status update.

Change these functions to use read_seqbegin(). This simplifies the code
and doesn't change the current behaviour, the "seq" counter is always even
so read_seqbegin_or_lock() can never take the lock.
