This is the second attempt at a patchset to fix a recent outbreak of
"Busy inodes after umount" issues with cifs. The approach is basically
the same.

The first patch in the original set has also been dropped since Al
pointed out that the existing behavior is more clear. The second and
third patches have also been merged since they touch the same areas of
code. Finally a few bugs in the original set have been fixed as well. 

With this set, I've not been able to reproduce any "busy inodes after
umount" issues, but it would be nice to have some extra eyeballs and
testing on this set before it goes in.

  cifs: move cifs_new_fileinfo call out of cifs_posix_open
  cifs: pass instantiated filp back after open call
