[PATCH 16/30] Unionfs: remove unnecessary lock in read_inode

[Erez Zadok]

Our read_inode doesn't need to grab the superblock rwsem because there no
chance it could be affected by branch management.  But our read_inode was
called from other places which did grab need to grab that rwsem, and lockdep
complained.
