The cifs_demultiplexer_thread should only call cifs_reconnect.
If any other thread wants to trigger a reconnect, they can do
so by updating the server tcpStatus to CifsNeedReconnect.
The last patch attempted to use the same helper function for
both types of threads, but that causes other issues
with lock dependencies.
This patch creates a new helper for non-cifsd threads, that
will indicate to cifsd that the server needs reconnect.
Fixes: 2a05137a0575 ("cifs: mark sessions for reconnection in helper function")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
