commit de40579b903883274fe203865f29d66b168b7236 upstream.
When a subrequest is marked for needing retry, netfs will call
cifs_prepare_write() which will make cifs repick the server for the op
before renegotiating credits; it then calls cifs_issue_write() which
invokes smb2_async_writev() - which re-repicks the server.
If a different server is then selected, this causes the increment of
server->in_flight to happen against one record and the decrement to happen
against another, leading to misaccounting.
Fix this by just removing the repick code in smb2_async_writev(). As this
is only called from netfslib-driven code, cifs_prepare_write() should
always have been called first, and so server should never be NULL and the
preparatory step is repeated in the event that we do a retry.
The problem manifests as a warning looking something like:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 72896 at fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c:97 smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs]
...
RIP: 0010:smb2_add_credits+0x3f0/0x9e0 [cifs]

ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
Which may be triggered by a number of different xfstests running against an
Azure server in multichannel mode. generic/249 seems the most repeatable,
but generic/215, generic/249 and generic/308 may also show it.
