pstore: Solve lockdep warning by moving inode locks
Lockdep complains about a possible deadlock between mount and unlink
(which is technically impossible), but fixing this improves possible
future multiple-backend support, and keeps locking in the right order.
The lockdep warning could be triggered by unlinking a file in the
pstore filesystem:
