netfs: Downgrade i_rwsem for a buffered write
In the I/O locking code borrowed from NFS into netfslib, i_rwsem is held
locked across a buffered write - but this causes a performance regression
in cifs as it excludes buffered reads for the duration (cifs didn't use any
locking for buffered reads).

Mitigate this somewhat by downgrading the i_rwsem to a read lock across the
buffered write.  This at least allows parallel reads to occur whilst
excluding other writes, DIO, truncate and setattr.

Note that this shouldn't be a problem for a buffered write as a read
through an mmap can circumvent i_rwsem anyway.

Also note that we might want to make this change in NFS also.
