reiserfs: Fix recursive lock on lchown



On chown, reiserfs will call reiserfs_setattr() to change the owner
of the given inode, but it may also recursively call
reiserfs_setattr() to propagate the owner change to the private xattr
files for this inode.

Hence, the reiserfs lock may be acquired twice which is not wanted
as reiserfs_setattr() calls journal_begin() that is going to try to
relax the lock in order to safely acquire the journal mutex.

Using reiserfs_write_lock_once() from reiserfs_setattr() solves
the problem.

This fixes the following warning, that precedes a lockdep report.
