[CIFS] Fix hang in find_writable_file
Caused by unneeded reopen during reconnect while spinlock held. Fixes kernel bugzilla bug #7903 Thanks to Lin Feng Shen for testing this, and Amit Arora for some nice problem determination to narrow this down.

Fix NTLMv2 signing. NFS server mounted over cifs works (if cifs mount is
done with "serverino" mount option). Add support for POSIX Unlink
(helps with certain sharing violation cases when server such as
-Samba supports newer POSIX CIFS Protocol Extensions).
