dnotify: do not bother to lock entry->lock when reading mask

Browse Source 
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.
