[PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid()

Right now users have to grab i_mutex before calling remove_suid(), in the
unlikely event that a call to ->setattr() may be needed. Split up the
function in two parts:

- One to check if we need to remove suid
- One to actually remove it

The first we can call lockless.
