cifs: smbd: avoid reconnect lockup
During transport reconnect, other processes may have registered memory and blocked on transport. This creates a deadlock situation because the transport resources can't be freed, and reconnect is blocked. Fix this by returning to upper layer on timeout. Before returning, transport status is set to reconnecting so other processes will release memory registration resources. Upper layer will retry the reconnect. This is not in fast I/O path so setting the timeout to 5 seconds.
