2.6.36's 7e496299d4d2 to make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter used
inode->i_lock in place of sbinfo->stat_lock around i_blocks updates;
but that was adverse to scalability, and unnecessary, since info->lock
is already held there in the fast paths.
Remove those uses of i_lock, and add info->lock in the three error
paths where it's then needed across shmem_free_blocks(). It's not
actually needed across shmem_unacct_blocks(), but they're so often
paired that it looks wrong to split them apart.
