EXT2: Remove superblock lock contention in ext2_statfs
Fix a performance degradation introduced in 2.6.17. (30% degradation running
dbench with 16 threads)
Patch 21730eed11de42f22afcbd43f450a1872a0b5ea1, which claims to make
EXT2_DEBUG work again, moves the taking of the kernel lock out of debug-only
code in ext2_count_free_inodes and ext2_count_free_blocks and into
ext2_statfs. This patch reverses that part of the patch.
