kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: fix "reiserfs lock" / "inode mutex" lock inversion dependency

reiserfs_xattr_init is called with the reiserfs write lock held, but
if the ".reiserfs_priv" entry is not created, we take the superblock
root directory inode mutex until .reiserfs_priv is created.

This creates a lock dependency inversion against other sites such as
reiserfs_file_release() which takes an inode mutex and the reiserfs
lock after.
