GFS2: Eliminate sd_rindex_mutex
Over time, we've slowly eliminated the use of sd_rindex_mutex. Up to this point, it was only used in two places: function gfs2_ri_total (which totals the file system size by reading and parsing the rindex file) and function gfs2_rindex_update which updates the rgrps in memory. Both of these functions have the rindex glock to protect them, so the rindex is unnecessary. Since gfs2_grow writes to the rindex via the meta_fs, the mutex is in the wrong order according to the normal rules. This patch eliminates the mutex entirely to avoid the problem.
