doc: inode uses a mutex instead of a semaphore.

Replace the introduced i_sem by an i_mutex in the filesystem locking
documentation. This was introduced [1] after all occurrences were
already replaced in the same text [2]. However, the term "inode
semaphore" has not been replaced then, and it's replaced now.

implementations. If your fs is not using generic_file_llseek, you
need to acquire and release the appropriate locks in your ->llseek().
For many filesystems, it is probably safe to acquire the inode
semaphore. Note some filesystems (i.e. remote ones) provide no
mutex. Note some filesystems (i.e. remote ones) provide no
protection for i_size so you will need to use the BKL.
Note: ext2_release() was *the* source of contention on fs-intensive
