It's possible for initiate_cifs_search to be called on a filp that already has private_data attached. If this happens, we'll end up calling cifs_sb_tlink, taking an extra reference to the tlink and attaching that to the cifsFileInfo. This leads to refcount leaks that manifest as a "stuck" cifsd at umount time. Fix this by only looking up the tlink for the cifsFile on the filp's first pass through this function. When called on a filp that already has cifsFileInfo associated with it, just use the tlink reference that it already owns.
