cifs: force a reconnect if there are too many MIDs in flight

Browse Source 
Currently, we allow the pending_mid_q to grow without bound with
SIGKILL'ed processes. This could eventually be a DoS'able problem. An
unprivileged user could a process that does a long-running call and then
SIGKILL it.

If he can also intercept the NT_CANCEL calls or the replies from the
server, then the pending_mid_q could grow very large, possibly even to
2^16 entries which might leave GetNextMid in an infinite loop. Fix this
by imposing a hard limit of 32k calls per server. If we cross that
limit, set the tcpStatus to CifsNeedReconnect to force cifsd to
eventually reconnect the socket and clean out the pending_mid_q.

While we're at it, clean up the function a bit and eliminate an
unnecessary NULL pointer check.
