    cifs: simplify refcounting for oplock breaks · ad635942

    Currently, we take a sb->s_active reference and a cifsFileInfo reference
    when an oplock break workqueue job is queued. This is unnecessary and
    more complicated than it needs to be. Also as Al points out,
    deactivate_super has non-trivial locking implications so it's best to
    avoid that if we can.
    
    Instead, just cancel any pending oplock breaks for this filehandle
    synchronously in cifsFileInfo_put after taking it off the lists.
    That should ensure that this job doesn't outlive the structures it
    depends on.
