nfsd race fixes: ext2

* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state
* do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd
might pick it in half-baked state.
* make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the
same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming
from nfsd might race with inode creation:

nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode
nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that.
ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber
ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty
ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache,
set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk)
nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk
inode, set the in-core inode from it

oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache,
both used for IO.  Welcome to fs corruption...
