kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: fix recursive reiserfs lock in reiserfs_mkdir()
reiserfs_mkdir() acquires the reiserfs lock, assuming it has been called from the dir inodes callbacks, without the lock held. But it can also be called from other internal sites such as reiserfs_xattr_init() which already holds the lock. This recursive locking leads to further wrong assumptions. For example, later calls to reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() won't actually unlock the reiserfs lock the time we acquire a given mutex, creating unexpected lock inversions.
