Instead of removing the function "read_node_page" completely to avoid
the redundant locking, we can simply remove the "unlock" part from the
read_node_page and use the same code in ra_node_page, get_node_page,
get_node_page_ra..
With this patch change, the same code is getting repeated at several
places and IMHO It is not good for the puprose of the modularity.
Please share your opinion.

Thanks.
