commit 61cabc7b0a5cf0d3c532cfa96594c801743fe7f6 upstream.
We can not hold the GlobalMid_Lock spinlock during the
dfs processing in cifs_reconnect since it invokes things that may sleep
and thus trigger :
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:23
Thus we need to drop the spinlock during this code block.
