[PATCH] backport iget_locked from 2.5/2.6

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

Provide an iget variant without unlocking the inode and ->read_inode
call.  This is needed for XFS and IIRC the reiserfs folks wanted it,
too.

Tested in 2.5 for more than half a year and in 2.4-ac/-aa, and
the varoius vendor trees for a long time.
