Clarify locking of cifs file and tcon structures and make more granular

commit 3afca265b5f53a0b15b79531c13858049505582d upstream.

Remove the global file_list_lock to simplify cifs/smb3 locking and
have spinlocks that more closely match the information they are
protecting.

Add new tcon->open_file_lock and file->file_info_lock spinlocks.
Locks continue to follow a heirachy,
cifs_socket --> cifs_ses --> cifs_tcon --> cifs_file
where global tcp_ses_lock still protects socket and cifs_ses, while the
the newer locks protect the lower level structure's information
(tcon and cifs_file respectively).
