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.
