From: Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3998f0b8bc49ec784990971dc1f16bf367b19078 upstream. RHBZ: 1994393 If we hit a STATUS_USER_SESSION_DELETED for the Create part in the Create/QueryDirectory compound that starts a directory scan we will leak EDEADLK back to userspace and surprise glibc and the application. Pick this up initiate_cifs_search() and retry a small number of tries before we return an error to userspace.
