Subject: reiserfs: don't lock journal_init()

journal_init() doesn't need the lock since no operation on the filesystem
is involved there.  journal_read() and get_list_bitmap() have yet to be
reviewed carefully though before removing the lock there.  Just keep the
it around these two calls for safety.
