Fix tcon use-after-free and NULL ptr deref.

The most likely explanation we have is: * When we put the last reference of a tcon (refcount=0), we close the cached share root handle. * If closing a handle is interupted, SMB2_close() will queue a SMB2_close() in a work thread. * The queued object keeps a tcon ref so we bump the tcon refcount, jumping from 0 to 1. * We reach the end of cifs_put_tcon(), we free the tcon object despite it now having a refcount of 1. * The queued work now runs, but the tcon, ses & server was freed in the meantime resulting in a crash.
