[PATCH] adds missed lock_kernel/unlock_kernel to reiserfs_dir_fsync().

[Alexander Zarochentcev]

Hi !

Bug found in reiserfs in linux-2.4.2: reiserfs_dir_fsync has no
lock_kernel/unlock_kernel calls which are required by reiserfs journal
interface functions.  It causes reserfs_panic in any attempt to fsync a
directory (on SMP machines).

Bug report was related to qmail which likes to
fsync a directory.

This trivial fix cures the problem:
