[PATCH] CIFS: Prevent error log on spurious oplock break

[Shyam Prasad N]

Hi Vincent,

The reason for rejecting the request maybe a number of things like:
corrupted request, stale request (for some old session), or for a
wrong handle.
I don't think we should treat any of these cases as a success.

Also, from the MS-SMB2 documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-smb2/4f35576a-6f3b-40f0-a832-1c30b0afccb3

"The client MUST locate the file in the GlobalFileTable using the
LeaseKey in the Lease Break Notification. If a file is not found, no
further processing is required."

So I don't think we should be changing the logic here.
If SMB v1 had a different behaviour, we should check if that is as per
the protocol documentation. If not, change it.

Regards,
Shyam
