Subject: reiserfs: fix dependency inversion between inode and reiserfs mutexes
From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx>
The reiserfs mutex already depends on the inode mutex, so we can't lock
the inode mutex in reiserfs_unpack() without using the safe locking API,
because reiserfs_unpack() is always called with the reiserfs mutex locked.
This fixes:
