Shyam Prasad N ea90708d3c cifs: use the least loaded channel for sending requests
Till now, we've used a simple round robin approach to
distribute the requests between the channels. This does
not work well if the channels consume the requests at
different speeds, even if the advertised speeds are the
same.

This change will allow the client to pick the channel
with least number of requests currently in-flight. This
will disregard the link speed, and select a channel
based on the current load of the channels.

For cases when all the channels are equally loaded,
fall back to the old round robin method.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
