[PATCH] fuse: simplify locking

This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a
per-mount one.

The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and
fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to
file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn.

This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.

Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.
