Shyam Prasad N 3d74c2c917 cifs: protect session channel fields with chan_lock ...

[ Upstream commit 724244cdb3 ]

Introducing a new spin lock to protect all the channel related
fields in a cifs_ses struct. This lock should be taken
whenever dealing with the channel fields, and should be held
only for very short intervals which will not sleep.

Currently, all channel related fields in cifs_ses structure
are protected by session_mutex. However, this mutex is held for
long periods (sometimes while waiting for a reply from server).
This makes the codepath quite tricky to change.
