reiserfs: Relax lock before open xattr dir in reiserfs_xattr_set_handle()

We call xattr_lookup() from reiserfs_xattr_get(). We then hold
the reiserfs lock when we grab the i_mutex. But later, we may
relax the reiserfs lock, creating dependency inversion between
both locks.

The lookups and creation jobs ar already protected by the
inode mutex, so we can safely relax the reiserfs lock, dropping
the unwanted reiserfs lock -> i_mutex dependency, as shown
in the following lockdep report:
