vfs: don't use BKL in default_llseek
There are currently 191 users of default_llseek.
Nine of these are in device drivers that use the
big kernel lock. None of these ever touch
file->f_pos outside of llseek or file_pos_write.
Consequently, we never rely on the BKL
in the default_llseek function and can
replace that with i_mutex, which is also
used in generic_file_llseek.
