Jeff Layton 4f73c7d342 cifs: fix potential races in cifs_revalidate_mapping
The handling of the CIFS_INO_INVALID_MAPPING flag is racy. It's possible
for two tasks to attempt to revalidate the mapping at the same time. The
first sees that CIFS_INO_INVALID_MAPPING is set. It clears the flag and
then calls invalidate_inode_pages2 to start shooting down the pagecache.

While that's going on, another task checks the flag and sees that it's
clear. It then ends up trusting the pagecache to satisfy a read when it
shouldn't.

Fix this by adding a bitlock to ensure that the clearing of the flag is
atomic with respect to the actual cache invalidation. Also, move the
other existing users of cifs_invalidate_mapping to use a new
cifs_zap_mapping() function that just sets the INVALID_MAPPING bit and
then uses the standard codepath to handle the invalidation.
