fs/dcache: Disable preemption on i_dir_seq write side on PREEMPT_RT

i_dir_seq is a sequence counter with a lock which is represented by the
lowest bit. The writer atomically updates the counter which ensures that it
can be modified by only one writer at a time. This requires preemption to
be disabled across the write side critical section.

On !PREEMPT_RT kernels this is implicit by the caller acquiring
dentry::lock. On PREEMPT_RT kernels spin_lock() does not disable preemption
which means that a preempting writer or reader would live lock. It's
therefore required to disable preemption explicitly.

An alternative solution would be to replace i_dir_seq with a seqlock_t for
PREEMPT_RT, but that comes with its own set of problems due to arbitrary
lock nesting. A pure sequence count with an associated spinlock is not
possible because the locks held by the caller are not necessarily related.

As the critical section is small, disabling preemption is a sensible
solution.
