From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In cifs_call_async, server may respond as soon as I/O is submitted. Because mid entry is freed on the return path, it should not be modified after I/O is submitted. cifs_save_when_sent modifies the sent timestamp in mid entry, and should not be called after I/O. Call it before I/O.
