[PATCH] nfsd_copy_write_verifier: use read_seqbegin() rather than read_seqbegin_or_lock()

[Oleg Nesterov]

The usage of read_seqbegin_or_lock() in nfsd_copy_write_verifier()
is wrong. "seq" is always even and thus "or_lock" has no effect,
this code can never take ->writeverf_lock for writing.

I guess this is fine, nfsd_copy_write_verifier() just copies 8 bytes
and nfsd_reset_write_verifier() is supposed to be very rare operation
so we do not need the adaptive locking in this case.

Yet the code looks wrong and sub-optimal, it can use read_seqbegin()
without changing the behaviour.
