cifs: fix lock ordering while disabling multichannel
The code to handle the case of server disabling multichannel was picking iface_lock with chan_lock held. This goes against the lock ordering rules, as iface_lock is a higher order lock (even if it isn't so obvious). This change fixes the lock ordering by doing the following in that order for each secondary channel: 1. store iface and server pointers in local variable 2. remove references to iface and server in channels 3. unlock chan_lock 4. lock iface_lock 5. dec ref count for iface 6. unlock iface_lock 7. dec ref count for server 8. lock chan_lock again Since this function can only be called in smb2_reconnect, and that cannot be called by two parallel processes, we should not have races due to dropping chan_lock between steps 3 and 8.
