Jeff Mahoney 9b7f375505 reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bug
The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock.  As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.

This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.
