cifs: don't use vfsmount to pin superblock for oplock breaks
Filesystems aren't really supposed to do anything with a vfsmount. It's considered a layering violation since vfsmounts are entirely managed at the VFS layer. CIFS currently keeps an active reference to a vfsmount in order to prevent the superblock vanishing before an oplock break has completed. What we really want to do instead is to keep sb->s_active high until the oplock break has completed. This patch borrows the scheme that NFS uses for handling sillyrenames. An atomic_t is added to the cifs_sb_info. When it transitions from 0 to 1, an extra reference to the superblock is taken (by bumping the s_active value). When it transitions from 1 to 0, that reference is dropped and a the superblock teardown may proceed if there are no more references to it. Also, the vfsmount pointer is removed from cifsFileInfo and from cifs_new_fileinfo, and some bogus forward declarations are removed from cifsfs.h.
