cifs: Replace wrtPending with a real reference count
Currently, cifs_close() tries to wait until all I/O is complete and then
frees the file private data. If I/O does not completely in a reasonable
amount of time it frees the structure anyway, leaving a potential use-
after-free situation.
This patch changes the wrtPending counter to a complete reference count and
lets the last user free the structure.
