xfs: introduce xfs_rw_lock() helpers for locking the inode

We need to obtain the i_mutex, i_iolock and i_ilock during the read
and write paths. Add a set of wrapper functions to neatly
encapsulate the lock ordering and shared/exclusive semantics to make
the locking easier to follow and get right.

Note that this changes some of the exclusive locking serialisation in
that serialisation will occur against the i_mutex instead of the
XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL. This does not change any behaviour, and it is
arguably more efficient to use the mutex for such serialisation than
the rw_sem.
