If from cifs_revalidate_dentry_attr() the SMB2/QUERY_INFO call fails with an error, such as STATUS_SESSION_EXPIRED, causing the session to be reconnected it is possible we will leak -EAGAIN back to the application even for system calls such as stat() where this is not a valid error. Fix this by re-trying the operation from within cifs_revalidate_dentry_attr() if cifs_get_inode_info*() returns -EAGAIN. This fixes stat() and possibly also other system calls that uses cifs_revalidate_dentry*().
