cifs: add refcounted and timestamped container for holding tcons

Eventually, we'll need to track the use of tcons on a per-sb basis, so that
we know when it's ok to tear them down. Begin this conversion by adding a
new "tcon_link" struct and accessors that get it. For now, the core data
structures are untouched -- cifs_sb still just points to a single tcon and
the pointers are just cast to deal with the accessor functions. A later
patch will flesh this out.
