cinode->open_file_lock should be mentioned here as well.

I would suggest to make this a part of cifsFileInfo structure (like
oplock handling work) to avoid unnecessary memory allocations every
time we put/close the handle.

I don't think we should offload the work to another thread
unconditionally here - e.g. cifs_close() can safely do it in the same
thread. Since there are more places where we want to offload, so let's
do the similar thing as we have to the "wait_oplock_handler" argument:

cifsFileInfo_put(cifs_file) -> _cifsFileInfo_put(cifs_file, true /*
wait_oplock_handler */, true /* offload */);

and convert cifs_close() to call _cifsFileInfo_put(cifs_file, true /*
wait_oplock_handler */, false /* offload */);

Note, that we do not need to conditionally cancel the worker thread as
we do for the oplock handler because once we reach zero references
there should be only one thread (we) that has access to the file info
structure, thus no need to cancel anything. We may add a Warning if
the work is scheduled but we reached zero references to highlight a
potential bug.

Also, as an optimization, we may use the caller thread to check the
number of references and only offload if both conditions meet:
"offload" argument is true and the current number of references is 1
(putting the last reference). This optimization may be done in the
same patch or as a separate patch.

Thoughts?
