Aurelien Aptel b98749cac4 CIFS: keep FileInfo handle live during oplock break
In the oplock break handler, writing pending changes from pages puts
the FileInfo handle. If the refcount reaches zero it closes the handle
and waits for any oplock break handler to return, thus causing a deadlock.

To prevent this situation:

* We add a wait flag to cifsFileInfo_put() to decide whether we should
  wait for running/pending oplock break handlers

* We keep an additionnal reference of the SMB FileInfo handle so that
  for the rest of the handler putting the handle won't close it.
  - The ref is bumped everytime we queue the handler via the
    cifs_queue_oplock_break() helper.
  - The ref is decremented at the end of the handler

This bug was triggered by xfstest 464.

Also important fix to address the various reports of
oops in smb2_push_mandatory_locks

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
