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.
