reiserfs: locking, handle nested locks properly
The reiserfs write lock replaced the BKL and uses similar semantics.
Frederic's locking code makes a distinction between when the lock is nested
and when it's being acquired/released, but I don't think that's the right
distinction to make.
The right distinction is between the lock being released at end-of-use and
the lock being released for a schedule. The unlock should return the depth
and the lock should restore it, rather than the other way around as it is now.
This patch implements that and adds a number of places where the lock
should be dropped.
