[XFS] kill superflous buffer locking
There is no need to lock any page in xfs_buf.c because we operate on our
own address_space and all locking is covered by the buffer semaphore. If
we ever switch back to main blockdeive address_space as suggested e.g. for
fsblock with a similar scheme the locking will have to be totally revised
anyway because the current scheme is neither correct nor coherent with
itself.
