Frederic Weisbecker 0719d34347 reiserfs: Fix reiserfs lock <-> i_xattr_sem dependency inversion
i_xattr_sem depends on the reiserfs lock. But after we grab
i_xattr_sem, we may relax/relock the reiserfs lock while waiting
on a freezed filesystem, creating a dependency inversion between
the two locks.

In order to avoid the i_xattr_sem -> reiserfs lock dependency, let's
create a reiserfs_down_read_safe() that acts like
reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(): relax the reiserfs lock while grabbing
another lock to avoid undesired dependencies induced by the
heivyweight reiserfs lock.

This fixes the following warning:
