vfs: dodge smp_mb in break_lease and break_deleg in the common case
These inlines show up in the fast path (e.g., in do_dentry_open()) and
induce said full barrier regarding i_flctx access when in most cases the
pointer is NULL.
The pointer can be safely checked before issuing the barrier, dodging it
in most cases as a result.
It is plausible the consume fence would be sufficient, but I don't want
to go audit all callers regarding what they before calling here.
