Any chance you could get a wireshark or netmon trace (excerpt) of the high cpu activity (assuming a request is being resent repeatedly during this interval) - otherwise might be able to clear the kernel log, enable maximal cifs logging (by echoing 7 into /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData see - https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting) and get a better feel for what is going on in that interval. Problem is that given how old the kernel is (more than 5 years old) - it is missing a lot of cleanup and improvements.
