ext4: Remove useless spinlock in ext4_getattr()
Linus noted, and complained to me, that doing while lots of "git diff"'s
of kernel sources, these spinlocks were responsible for 27% of the
spinlock cost on his two-processor system as reported by perf.
Git was doing lots of parallel stats, and this was putting a lot of
pressure on ext4_getattr(). A spinlock to protect a single
memory-to-memory copy is pointless, so remove it.
