When reusing transaction locks for DTREE operations, the index field
may contain stale values from previous operations, causing assertion
failures in dtSplitRoot():

  ASSERT(dtlck->index == 0)

This results in kernel crashes like:

  kernel BUG at fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:1942!
  Call Trace:
   dtSplitRoot+0x1694/0x16c0 fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:1942
   dtSplitUp fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:1244 [inline]
   dtInsert+0x2525/0x5f40 fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:871
   jfs_create+0x6c8/0xa80 fs/jfs/namei.c:137

The bug occurs because txLock() has multiple code paths for lock
acquisition:

1. Fresh allocation (allocateLock) - correctly initializes index to 0
2. Lock reuse (same transaction) - skips initialization
3. Anonymous lock acquisition - skips initialization

Paths 2 and 3 jump directly to the grantLock label, bypassing the
index initialization. When dtSplitRoot() is called multiple times
within a batched transaction (which JFS uses for performance), it may
receive a reused lock with index=3 from a previous operation instead
of the expected index=0.

Fix by resetting dtlck->index to 0 at the grantLock label, but only
for operations with the tlckNEW flag set. This ensures new pages start
with clean state while preserving accumulated changes on existing pages.
