cifs: Fix reacquisition of volume cookie on still-live connection
During mount, cifs_mount_get_tcon() gets a tcon resource connection record
and then attaches an fscache volume cookie to it. However, it does this
irrespective of whether or not the tcon returned from cifs_get_tcon() is a
new record or one that's already in use. This leads to a warning about a
volume cookie collision and a leaked volume cookie because tcon->fscache
gets reset.
Fix this be adding a mutex and a "we've already tried this" flag and only
doing it once for the lifetime of the tcon.
[!] Note: Looking at cifs_mount_get_tcon(), a more general solution may
actually be required. Reacquiring the volume cookie isn't the only thing
that function does: it also partially reinitialises the tcon record without
any locking - which may cause live filesystem ops already using the tcon
through a previous mount to malfunction.
This can be reproduced simply by something like:
mount //example.com/test /xfstest.test -o user=shares,pass=xxx,fsc
mount //example.com/test /mnt -o user=shares,pass=xxx,fsc
