kernfs: dont take i_lock on inode attr read 

The kernfs write lock is held when the kernfs node inode attributes
are updated. Therefore, when either kernfs_iop_getattr() or
kernfs_iop_permission() are called the kernfs node inode attributes
won't change.

Consequently concurrent kernfs_refresh_inode() calls always copy the
same values from the kernfs node.

So there's no need to take the inode i_lock to get consistent values
for generic_fillattr() and generic_permission(), the kernfs read lock
is sufficient.
