cifs: prevent cifsd from exiting prematurely

Browse Source 
When cifs_demultiplex_thread exits, it does a number of cleanup tasks
including freeing the TCP_Server_Info struct. Much of the existing code
in cifs assumes that when there is a cisfSesInfo struct, that it holds a
reference to a valid TCP_Server_Info struct.

We can never allow cifsd to exit when a cifsSesInfo struct is still
holding a reference to the server. The server pointers will then point
to freed memory.

This patch eliminates a couple of questionable conditions where it does
this.  The idea here is to make an -EINTR return from kernel_recvmsg
behave the same way as -ERESTARTSYS or -EAGAIN. If the task was
signalled from cifs_put_tcp_session, then tcpStatus will be CifsExiting,
and the kernel_recvmsg call will return quickly.

There's also another condition where this can occur too -- if the
tcpStatus is still in CifsNew, then it will also exit if the server
closes the socket prematurely.  I think we'll probably also need to fix
that situation, but that requires a bit more consideration.
