cifs: Fix cifsInodeInfo lock_sem deadlock when reconnect occurs
[ Upstream commit d46b0da7a33dd8c99d969834f682267a45444ab3 ]
There's a deadlock that is possible and can easily be seen with
a test where multiple readers open/read/close of the same file
and a disruption occurs causing reconnect. The deadlock is due
a reader thread inside cifs_strict_readv calling down_read and
obtaining lock_sem, and then after reconnect inside
cifs_reopen_file calling down_read a second time. If in
between the two down_read calls, a down_write comes from
another process, deadlock occurs.

---- ----
cifs_strict_readv()
down_read(&cifsi->lock_sem);
_cifsFileInfo_put
OR
cifs_new_fileinfo
down_write(&cifsi->lock_sem);
cifs_reopen_file()
down_read(&cifsi->lock_sem);
Fix the above by changing all down_write(lock_sem) calls to
down_write_trylock(lock_sem)/msleep() loop, which in turn
makes the second down_read call benign since it will never
block behind the writer while holding lock_sem.
