[PATCH] remove lock_kernel() from readdir implementations.

Filesystems which are using generic_file_llseek() do not need lock_kernel()
in their readir implementations.  All operations (including llseek) are
serialised by the directory's i_sem.

Just fix ext2 and ext3 for now.  Others may need locking between readdir and
who-knows-what.
