cifs: open files should not hold ref on superblock
Today whenever we deal with a file, in addition to holding a reference on the dentry, we also get a reference on the superblock. This happens in two cases: 1. when a new cinode is allocated 2. when an oplock break is being processed The reasoning for holding the superblock ref was to make sure that when umount happens, if there are users of inodes and dentries, it does not try to clean them up and wait for the last ref to superblock to be dropped by last of such users. But the side effect of doing that is that umount silently drops a ref on the superblock and we could have deferred closes and lease breaks still holding these refs. Ideally, we should ensure that all of these users of inodes and dentries are cleaned up at the time of umount, which is what this code is doing. This code change allows these code paths to use a ref on the dentry (and hence the inode). That way, umount is ensured to clean up SMB client resources when it's the last ref on the superblock (For ex: when same objects are shared). The code change also moves the call to close all the files in deferred close list to the umount code path. It also waits for oplock_break workers to be flushed before calling kill_anon_super (which eventually frees up those objects).
