SMB3: Add missing locks to protect deferred close file list
[ Upstream commit ab9ddc87a9055c4bebd6524d5d761d605d52e557 ]
cifs_del_deferred_close function has a critical section which modifies
the deferred close file list. We must acquire deferred_lock before
calling cifs_del_deferred_close function.
Fixes: ca08d0eac020 ("cifs: Fix memory leak on the deferred close")
