CIFS: fix circular locking dependency 

When a CIFS filesystem is mounted with the forcemand option and the
following command is run on it, lockdep warns about a circular locking
dependency between CifsInodeInfo::lock_sem and the inode lock.

 while echo foo > hello; do :; done & while touch -c hello; do :; done

cifs_writev() takes the locks in the wrong order, but note that we can't
only flip the order around because it releases the inode lock before the
call to generic_write_sync() while it holds the lock_sem across that
call.

But, AFAICS, there is no need to hold the CifsInodeInfo::lock_sem across
the generic_write_sync() call either, so we can release both the locks
before generic_write_sync(), and change the order.

 ======================================================
 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
 4.12.0-rc7+ #9 Not tainted
 ------------------------------------------------------
 touch/487 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&cifsi->lock_sem){++++..}, at: cifsFileInfo_put+0x88f/0x16a0

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#11){+.+.+.}, at: utimes_common+0x3ad/0x870

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#11){+.+.+.}:
        __lock_acquire+0x1f74/0x38f0
