Make sure to call fuse_vget_i() only after performing a FUSE_LOOKUP request. Calling it after a FUSE_GETATTR request will lead to a kernel panic.

Resolves osxfuse/osxfuse#298
Lock parent directory when removing entry

When removing a directory entry HFS and NFS lock the vnode that is to be removed and its parent directory vnode. However, Apple’s fallback implementation for non-thread-safe 32 bit file systems only locks the directory entry vnode.

The osxfuse locking mechanism is inspired by Apple’s fallback implementation. While it is not strictly required to lock the parent directory vnode as well, it seems to be good practice to do so.
