udf: Fix deadlock in udf_release_file()

Browse Source 
udf_release_file() can be called from munmap() path with mmap_sem held.  Thus
we cannot take i_mutex there because that ranks above mmap_sem. Luckily,
i_mutex is not needed in udf_release_file() anymore since protection by
i_data_sem is enough to protect from races with write and truncate.
