cifs: Fix use after free of a mid_q_entry

commit 696e420bb2a6624478105651d5368d45b502b324 upstream.

With protocol version 2.0 mounts we have seen crashes with corrupt mid
entries. Either the server->pending_mid_q list becomes corrupt with a
cyclic reference in one element or a mid object fetched by the
demultiplexer thread becomes overwritten during use.

Code review identified a race between the demultiplexer thread and the
request issuing thread. The demultiplexer thread seems to be written
with the assumption that it is the sole user of the mid object until
it calls the mid callback which either wakes the issuer task or
deletes the mid.

This assumption is not true because the issuer task can be woken up
earlier by a signal. If the demultiplexer thread has proceeded as far
as setting the mid_state to MID_RESPONSE_RECEIVED then the issuer
thread will happily end up calling cifs_delete_mid while the
demultiplexer thread still is using the mid object.

Inserting a delay in the cifs demultiplexer thread widens the race
window and makes reproduction of the race very easy:

		if (server->large_buf)
			buf = server->bigbuf;

+		usleep_range(500, 4000);

		server->lstrp = jiffies;

To resolve this I think the proper solution involves putting a
reference count on the mid object. This patch makes sure that the
demultiplexer thread holds a reference until it has finished
processing the transaction.
