When smb2 lease parameter is disabled on server. Server grants
batch oplock instead of RHW lease by default on open, inode page cache
needs to be zapped immediatley upon close as cache is not valid.

Removed oplock_break_received flag which was added to achieve
synchronization between oplock handler and open handler by earlier commit.
It is not needed because there is an existing lock open_file_lock to achieve
the same. find_readable_file takes open_file_lock and then traverses the
openFileList. Similarly, cifs_oplock_break while closing the deferred
handle (i.e cifsFileInfo_put) takes open_file_lock and then sends close
to the server.
Added comments for better readability.

When using smb2_copychunk_range() for large ranges we will
run through several iterations of a loop calling SMB2_ioctl()
but never actually free the returned buffer except for the final
iteration.
This leads to memory leaks everytime a large copychunk is requested.

cinode on filesystem should not be deleted when files are closed,
they are representations of some data fields on a physical disk,

The commit 315db9a05b ("cifs: fix leak in cifs_smb3_do_mount() ctx")
revealed an existing bug when mounting shares that contain a prefix
path or DFS links.
cifs_setup_volume_info() requires the @devname to contain the full
path (UNC + prefix) to update the fs context with the new UNC and
prepath values, however we were passing only the UNC
path (old_ctx->UNC) in @device thus discarding any prefix paths.
Instead of concatenating both old_ctx->{UNC,prepath} and pass it in
@devname, just keep the dup'ed values of UNC and prepath in
cifs_sb->ctx after calling smb3_fs_context_dup(), and fix
smb3_parse_devname() to correctly parse and not leak the new UNC and
prefix paths.

We can detect server unresponsiveness only if echoes are enabled.
Echoes can be disabled under two scenarios:
1. The connection is low on credits, so we've disabled echoes/oplocks.
2. The connection has not seen any request till now (other than
negotiate/sess-setup), which is when we enable these two, based on
the credits available.
So this fix will check for dead connection, only when echo is enabled.

Various filesystem support the shutdown ioctl which is used by various
xfstests. The shutdown ioctl sets a flag on the superblock which
prevents open, unlink, symlink, hardlink, rmdir, create etc.
on the file system until unmount and remounted. The two flags supported
in this patch are:
FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_LOGFLUSH and FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_NOLOGFLUSH
which require very little other than blocking new operations (since
we do not cache writes to metadata on the client with cifs.ko).
FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_DEFAULT is not supported yet, but could be added in
the future but would need to call syncfs or equivalent to write out
pending data on the mount.
With this patch various xfstests now work including tests 043 through
046 for example.

build_path_from_dentry() open-codes dentry_path_raw(). The reason
we can't use dentry_path_raw() in there (and postprocess the
result as needed) is that the callers of build_path_from_dentry()
expect that the object to be freed on cleanup and the string to
be used are at the same address. That's painful, since the path
is naturally built end-to-beginning - we start at the leaf and
go through the ancestors, accumulating the pathname.
Life would be easier if we left the buffer allocation to callers.
It wouldn't be exact-sized buffer, but none of the callers keep
the result for long - it's always freed before the caller returns.
So there's no need to do exact-sized allocation; better use
__getname()/__putname(), same as we do for pathname arguments
of syscalls. What's more, there's no need to do allocation under
spinlocks, so GFP_ATOMIC is not needed.
Next patch will replace the open-coded dentry_path_raw() (in
build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix()) with calling the real
thing. This patch only introduces wrappers for allocating/freeing
the buffers and switches to new calling conventions:
build_path_from_dentry(dentry, buf)
expects buf to be address of a page-sized object or NULL,
return value is a pathname built inside that buffer on success,
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) if buf is NULL and ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG) if
the pathname won't fit into page. Note that we don't need to
check for failure when allocating the buffer in the caller -
build_path_from_dentry() will do the right thing.
