NFSD: use read_seqbegin() rather than read_seqbegin_or_lock()



The usage of read_seqbegin_or_lock() in nfsd_copy_write_verifier()
is wrong. "seq" is always even and thus "or_lock" has no effect,
this code can never take ->writeverf_lock for writing.

I guess this is fine, nfsd_copy_write_verifier() just copies 8 bytes
and nfsd_reset_write_verifier() is supposed to be very rare operation
so we do not need the adaptive locking in this case.

Yet the code looks wrong and sub-optimal, it can use read_seqbegin()
without changing the behaviour.

[ cel: Note also that it eliminates this Sparse warning:

fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c:360:6: warning: context imbalance in 'nfsd_copy_write_verifier' -
	different lock contexts for basic block
