dnotify: do not bother to lock entry->lock when reading mask
entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking the lock. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
