reiserfs: Relax the lock before truncating pages

While truncating a file, reiserfs_setattr() calls inode_setattr()
that will truncate the mapping for the given inode, but for that
it needs the pages locks.

In order to release these, the owners need the reiserfs lock to
complete their jobs. But they can't, as we don't release it before
calling inode_setattr().

We need to do that to fix the following softlockups:
