ksmbd: defer CHANGE_NOTIFY completion instead of STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

Browse source 
smb2_notify() currently returns STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED synchronously
for every CHANGE_NOTIFY request. Genuine SMB2 servers never complete a
CHANGE_NOTIFY spontaneously -- it's satisfied only by a real directory
change or with STATUS_NOTIFY_CLEANUP when the watched handle is
closed. macOS smbfs.kext depends on this deferred-completion contract:
receiving STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED instead makes it hard-freeze on
unmount, since it never sees the cleanup it's waiting for.

Add a notify_pendings list on struct ksmbd_file (protected by the
existing f_lock) and a notify_entry list_head on struct ksmbd_work to
link onto it. smb2_notify() now replies STATUS_PENDING immediately and
queues a deferred STATUS_NOTIFY_CLEANUP response on the watched
handle; __ksmbd_close_fd() drains and sends any pending notifications
when the handle is actually closed. The drain splices the list out
under fp->f_lock first, then processes the detached copy without the
lock -- smb2_notify() on another connection can be adding to the same
list at the same time a close happens on this one, and
ksmbd_conn_write() can sleep (it takes the connection's write mutex),
so it must not be called while the spinlock is held.

Also handle the FileId=FFFF...FFFF share-root sentinel that macOS
backupd sends to watch for changes without holding an open handle --
without an immediate STATUS_PENDING/STATUS_NOTIFY_CLEANUP reply here,
backupd aborts Time Machine setup with STATUS_FILE_CLOSED.
