Pavel Shilovsky abe57073d0 CIFS: Fix retry mid list corruption on reconnects
When the client hits reconnect it iterates over the mid
pending queue marking entries for retry and moving them
to a temporary list to issue callbacks later without holding
GlobalMid_Lock. In the same time there is no guarantee that
mids can't be removed from the temporary list or even
freed completely by another thread. It may cause a temporary
list corruption:

Fix this by obtaining extra references for mids being retried
and marking them as MID_DELETED which indicates that such a mid
has been dequeued from the pending list.

Also move mid cleanup logic from DeleteMidQEntry to
_cifs_mid_q_entry_release which is called when the last reference
to a particular mid is put. This allows to avoid any use-after-free
of response buffers.

The patch needs to be backported to stable kernels. A stable tag
is not mentioned below because the patch doesn't apply cleanly
to any actively maintained stable kernel.

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.
