cifs: eliminate some more premature cifsd exits
If the tcpStatus is still CifsNew, the main cifs_demultiplex_loop can break out prematurely in some cases. This is wrong as we will almost always have other structures with pointers to the TCP_Server_Info. If the main loop breaks under any other condition other than tcpStatus == CifsExiting, then it'll face a use-after-free situation. I don't see any reason to treat a CifsNew tcpStatus differently than CifsGood. I believe we'll still want to attempt to reconnect in either case. What should happen in those situations is that the MIDs get marked as MID_RETRY_NEEDED. This will make CIFSSMBNegotiate return -EAGAIN, and then the caller can retry the whole thing on a newly reconnected socket. If that fails again in the same way, the caller of cifs_get_smb_ses should tear down the TCP_Server_Info struct.
