In debugging the malformed SMB transact2 response from Windows XP, I
noticed that the cifs vfs is not waking up the the cifs 'response_q' often
enough (there is more than one queue that cifs requests can wait on, but
this one was getting woken up too late, at reconnect time) so some stuck
requests are hanging much longer than they should (15 seconds typically).
This should help with most stuck request cases amd also with umount when
requests are stuck.
