cifs: protect session channel fields with chan_lock
Introducing a new spin lock to protect all the channel related fields in a cifs_ses struct. This lock should be taken whenever dealing with the channel fields, and should be held only for very short intervals which will not sleep. Currently, all channel related fields in cifs_ses structure are protected by session_mutex. However, this mutex is held for long periods (sometimes while waiting for a reply from server). This makes the codepath quite tricky to change.
