Jeff Mahoney 278f6679f4 reiserfs: locking, handle nested locks properly
The reiserfs write lock replaced the BKL and uses similar semantics.

Frederic's locking code makes a distinction between when the lock is nested
and when it's being acquired/released, but I don't think that's the right
distinction to make.

The right distinction is between the lock being released at end-of-use and
the lock being released for a schedule. The unlock should return the depth
and the lock should restore it, rather than the other way around as it is now.

This patch implements that and adds a number of places where the lock
should be dropped.

/*
* The previous reiserfs locking scheme was heavily based on
* the tricky properties of the Bkl:
*
* - it was acquired recursively by a same task
* - the performances relied on the release-while-schedule() property
*
* Now that we replace it by a mutex, we still want to keep the same
* recursive property to avoid big changes in the code structure.
* We use our own lock_owner here because the owner field on a mutex
* is only available in SMP or mutex debugging, also we only need this field
* for this mutex, no need for a system wide mutex facility.
*
* Also this lock is often released before a call that could block because
* reiserfs performances were partially based on the release while schedule()
* property of the Bkl.
