[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: have find_writeable_file prefer filehandles opened by same task

[Jeff Layton]

When the CIFS client goes to write out pages, it needs to pick a
filehandle to write to. find_writeable_file however just picks the
first filehandle that it finds. This can cause problems when a lock
is issued against a particular filehandle and we pick a different
filehandle to write to.

This patch tries to avert this situation by having find_writable_file
prefer filehandles that have a pid that matches the current task.
This seems to fix lock test 11 from the connectathon test suite when
run against a windows server.
