[PATCH] Fix smbfs readdir oops
This has been reported a couple of times and is consistently causing some folks grief, so Urban, would you mind terribly if i send this patch to at least clear current bug reports. If there is additional stuff you want ontop of this let me know and i can send a follow up patch. The bug is that at times we haven't completed setting up the smb_ops so we have a temporary 'null' ops in place until the connection is completely up. With this setup it's possible to hit ->readdir() whilst the null ops are still in place, so we put the process to sleep until the connection setup is complete and then call the real ->readdir().
