  cifs: Fix regression during share-level security mounts (Repost)
  [CIFS] Update cifs version number
  cifs: move mid result processing into common function
  cifs: move locked sections out of DeleteMidQEntry and AllocMidQEntry
  cifs: clean up accesses to midCount
  cifs: make wait_for_free_request take a TCP_Server_Info pointer
  cifs: no need to mark smb_ses_list as cifs_demultiplex_thread is exiting
