So in that case reiserfs_quota_read() also needs a BKL
because it can be called from the quota code without any lock
guarantees (e.g. quota_on() and quotactl() can call reading routine
without BKL).
Attached patch adds this BKL locking and adds also missing
lock_buffer() I found.
If you agree with the patch then you can forward it to Andrew/Linus.

Add missing locking to reiserfs_quota_read() and reiserfs_quota_write().
