[PATCH 3/4] smb: client: fix potential deadlock when releasing mids

[Paulo Alcantara <pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All release_mid() callers seem to hold a reference of @mid so there is
no need to call kref_put(&mid->refcount, __release_mid) under
@server->mid_lock spinlock.  If they don't, then an use-after-free bug
would have occurred anyway.

By getting rid of such spinlock also fixes a potential deadlock as
shown below

CPU 0                                CPU 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
cifs_demultiplex_thread()            cifs_debug_data_proc_show()
 release_mid()
  spin_lock(&server->mid_lock);
                                     spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
				      spin_lock(&server->mid_lock)
  __release_mid()
   smb2_find_smb_tcon()
    spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) *deadlock*
