NFS: Fix nfs_file_llseek()

After the BKL removal patches were applied to the rest of the NFS code, the
BKL protection in nfs_file_llseek() is no longer sufficient to ensure that
inode->i_size is read safely in generic_file_llseek_unlocked().

In order to fix the situation, we either have to replace the naked read of
inode->i_size in generic_file_llseek_unlocked() with i_size_read(), or the
whole thing needs to be executed under the inode->i_lock;
In order to avoid disrupting other filesystems, avoid touching
generic_file_llseek_unlocked() for now...
