[PATCH] reiser4: add radix_tree_lookup_slot()

Reiser4 uses radix trees to solve a trouble reiser4_readdir has serving nfs
requests.

Unfortunately, radix tree api lacks an operation suitable for modifying
existing entry.  This patch adds radix_tree_lookup_slot which returns pointer
to found item within the tree.  That location can be then updated.

Both Nick and Christoph Lameter have patches which need this as well.
