RHBZ: 2008434

Some servers, such as Windows2016 have a very low number of concurrent mounts that
they allow from each client.
This can be a problem if you have a more than a handful (==3 in this case)
of cifs entries in your fstab and cause a number of the mounts there to randomly fail.

Add a global mutex and use it to serialize all mount attempts.
