The srv_mutex is used during writeback so cifs should ensure that
allocations done when that mutex is held are done with GFP_NOFS, to
avoid having direct reclaim ending up waiting for the same mutex and
causing a deadlock. This is detected by lockdep with the splat below:

but task is already holding lock:

Fix this by using the memalloc_nofs_save/restore APIs around the places
where the srv_mutex is held. Do this in a wrapper function for the
lock/unlock of the srv_mutex, and rename the srv_mutex to avoid missing
call sites in the conversion.
Note that there is another lockdep warning involving internal crypto
locks, which was masked by this problem and is visible after this fix,
see the discussion in this thread:
