[PATCH 2/2] ntfs3: release ni_lock before dir_emit in ntfs_readdir to fix deadlocks

ntfs_readdir() holds ni_lock while calling ntfs_read_hdr(), which calls
dir_emit() to copy directory entries to userspace.  If the user buffer
triggers a page fault, the fault handler may need mmap_lock or
mapping->invalidate_lock, creating lock-order inversions with paths
that acquire those locks before ni_lock (e.g. ntfs_fallocate, mmap).

Fix by releasing ni_lock before calling ntfs_read_hdr():

- For non-root index nodes, indx_read_ra() returns data in a kmalloc'd
  buffer (node->index) that remains valid after ni_unlock.

- For the root index header, the data lives in the main MFT record
  whose lifetime is bound to the inode.  i_rwsem shared prevents
  concurrent directory modifications, so it is safe to access after
  ni_unlock.
