reiserfs_chown_xattrs() takes the iattr struct passed into ->setattr
and uses it to iterate over all the attrs associated with a file to change
ownership of xattrs (and transfer quota associated with the xattr files).

When a setuid file is chowned and the setuid bit is cleared, reiserfs_setattr
gets called with both ATTR_MODE and ATTR_UID set. Since ATTR_MODE causes
the ACL chmod code to be invoked, we end up calling reiserfs_acl_chmod on
the xattr file. There's a missing IS_PRIVATE check there, so instead of
bailing out immediately, we end up taking the inode->i_mutex a second time
in open_xa_dir.

The other xattr paths are protected against similar situations by bailing
out on IS_PRIVATE. This patch adds the missing check to reiserfs_acl_chmod.
