Coda: add spin lock to protect accesses to struct coda_inode_info.
We mostly need it to protect cached user permissions. The c_flags field is advisory, reading the wrong value is harmless and in the worst case we hit a slow path where we have to make an extra upcall to the userspace cache manager when revalidating a dentry or inode.
