cifs: Avoid doing network I/O while holding cache lock

Browse source

When creating or updating a cache entry, we need to get an DFS
referral (get_dfs_referral), so avoid holding any locks during such
network operation.

To prevent that, do the following:
* change cache hashtable sync method from RCU sync to a read/write
  lock.
* use GFP_ATOMIC in memory allocations.
