kill-the-bkl/reiserfs: lock only once on reiserfs_get_block()

reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might
be acquired recursively.

It's a particular problem because this function is called very often.
It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting
direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time.

Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on
schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have
locked in more than one depth.

The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try
to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really*
released before schedule().

Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not
create wasteful numerous contentions.

[ Impact: fix a too long holded lock case in reiserfs_get_block() ]
