reiserfs: Relax lock on xattr removing
When we remove an xattr, we call lookup_and_delete_xattr()
that takes some private xattr inodes mutexes. But we hold
the reiserfs lock at this time, which leads to dependency
inversions.
We can safely call lookup_and_delete_xattr() without the
reiserfs lock, where xattr inodes lookups only need the
xattr inodes mutexes.
