reiserfs: don't lock root inode searching
Nothing requires that we lock the filesystem until the root inode is provided. Also iget5_locked() triggers a warning because we are holding the filesystem lock while allocating the inode, which result in a lockdep suspicion that we have a lock inversion against the reclaim path: [ 1986.896979] ================================= [ 1986.896990] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] [ 1986.896997] 3.1.1-main #8 [ 1986.897001] --------------------------------- [ 1986.897007] inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

Still the warning is annoying. To solve this, acquire the lock later only where we need it, right before calling reiserfs_read_locked_inode() that wants to lock to walk the tree.
