ocfs2: Fix lock inversion in ocfs2_local_read_info()

Browse Source 
This function is called with dqio_mutex held but it has to acquire lock
from global quota file which ranks above this lock. This is not deadlockable
lock inversion since this code path is take only during mount when noone
else can race with us but let's clean this up to silence lockdep.

We just drop the dqio_mutex in the beginning of the function and reacquire
it in the end since we don't need it - noone can race with us at this moment.
