adfs: remove the big kernel lock



According to Russell King, adfs was written to not require the big
kernel lock, and all inode updates are done under adfs_dir_lock.

All other metadata in adfs is read-only and does not require locking.
The use of the BKL is the result of various pushdowns from the VFS
operations.
