Paulo Alcantara 9fb0db4051 cifs: fix potential deadlock in cache_refresh_path()
Avoid getting DFS referral from an exclusive lock in
cache_refresh_path() because the tcon IPC used for getting the
referral could be disconnected and thus causing a deadlock as shown
below:

task A                       task B
======                       ======
cifs_demultiplex_thread()    dfs_cache_find()
 cifs_handle_standard()       cache_refresh_path()
  reconnect_dfs_server()       down_write()
   dfs_cache_noreq_find()       get_dfs_referral()
    down_read() <- deadlock      smb2_get_dfs_refer()
                                  SMB2_ioctl()
				   cifs_send_recv()
				    compound_send_recv()
				     wait_for_response()

where task A cannot wake up task B because it is blocked on
down_read() due to the exclusive lock held in cache_refresh_path() and
therefore not being able to make progress.
