Shyam Prasad N 9fb981a86a cifs: do all necessary checks for credits within or before locking
[ Upstream commit 326a8d04f1 ]

All the server credits and in-flight info is protected by req_lock.
Once the req_lock is held, and we've determined that we have enough
credits to continue, this lock cannot be dropped till we've made the
changes to credits and in-flight count.

However, we used to drop the lock in order to avoid deadlock with
the recent srv_lock. This could cause the checks already made to be
invalidated.

Fixed it by moving the server status check to before locking req_lock.
