Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix potential deadlock when releasing mids

All release_mid() callers seem to hold a reference of @mid so there is
no need to call kref_put(&mid->refcount, __release_mid) under
@server->mid_lock spinlock. If they don't, then an use-after-free bug
would have occurred anyways.

By getting rid of such spinlock also fixes a potential deadlock as
shown below

CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
cifs_demultiplex_thread() cifs_debug_data_proc_show()
release_mid()
spin_lock(&server->mid_lock);
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
spin_lock(&server->mid_lock)
__release_mid()
smb2_find_smb_tcon()
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock) *deadlock*
