Shyam Prasad N e0b21b642d cifs: make sure that channel scaling is done only once
[ Upstream commit ee36a3b345 ]

Following a successful cifs_tree_connect, we have the code
to scale up/down the number of channels in the session.
However, it is not protected by a lock today.

As a result, this code can be executed by several processes
that select the same channel. The core functions handle this
well, as they pick chan_lock. However, we've seen cases where
smb2_reconnect throws some warnings.

To fix that, this change introduces a flags bitmap inside the
cifs_ses structure. A new flag type is used to ensure that
only one process enters this section at any time.
