However, when operations such as hfsplus_file_release, hfsplus_setattr, hfsplus_unlink, and hfsplus_unlink are executed concurrently in different files, it is very likely to trigger the WARN_ON, which will lead syzbot and xfstest to consider it as an abnormality. Since we already have alloc_mutex to protect alloc file modify, let's remove mutex_lock check.
