[RFC PATCH 1/2] Add unlocked version of igrab.

[Ryan Mallon <ryan@bluewatersys.com>]

Commit 250df6ed274d767da844a5d9f05720b804240197 "fs: protect
inode->i_state with inode->i_lock" changes igrab to acquire inode->i_lock,
however some callees, notably nfs_inode_add_request, already hold the lock
when calling igrab.

Introduce an unlocked version of igrab called __igrab which can be
called when inode->i_lock is already held.
