[PATCH] fix smb client defer close causes file corruption

Test environment

 4 hosts as smb client, 1 host as smb server
 smb client hosts, kernel 6.6.138
 mount options,
  //10.70.48.15/xxx /run/xxx cifs rw,relatime,vers=3.0,
  cache=loose,username=xxx,domain=xxx,uid=0,noforceuid,
  gid=0,noforcegid,addr=10.70.48.15,file_mode=0755,
  dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,reparse=nfs,
  rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,
  actimeo=0,closetimeo=1

Work around

 mount with cache=none or closetimeo=0

The Race Condition Flow

 Step 1: Host-01 closes file

  Host-01:
   file close (eeefe8d0.vhd)
   -> CIFS defers SMB2 CLOSE
   -> Handle H1 stored in deferred_closes list
   -> Lease L1 (RWH or RH) still active on server
   -> Entry: { path=“eeefe8d0.vhd”, handle=H1, inode=I1 }

 Step 2: Host-02 does hardlink and rename

  Host-02:
   hardlink(eeefe8d0.vhd, 0f11b74e.vhd)
   -> SMB2: Creates new name for same inode
   -> Server: inode I1 now has 2 names (link count = 2)
   -> Host-01 lease L1: NO BREAK (same inode, just added name)

   crate(eeefe8d0.vhd.new)
   -> Entry { path="eeefe8d0.vhd.new", handle=H2, inode=I2 }

   rename(eeefe8d0.vhd.new, eeefe8d0.vhd)
   -> SMB2: Replaces “eeefe8d0.vhd” name → points to new inode I2
   -> Server: old inode I1 now only accessible as “0f11b74e.vhd”
   -> Server SHOULD send: Lease Break notification to H1 ← KEY!

 Step 3: Lease break delivery is not reliable

  strict locking off, level2 oplock

   Host-01:
   -> Lease break not received or processed
   -> H1 is in deferred_closes list (not "active")

   Result: Stale entry remains:
      { path=“eeefe8d0.vhd”, handle=H1, inode=I1_OLD }

   Host-02:
   -> Open 0f11b74e.vhd in readonly

   Result:
      { path="0f11b74e.vhd", inode=I1_NEW }

 Step 4: Host-01 reopens file

  Host-01:
   file open (eeefe8d0.vhd)
   -> Kernel checks deferred_closes for “eeefe8d0.vhd”
   -> Found H1! (matched by pathname string)
   -> REUSES H1 without checking
   -> close or reconnect, flush buffered writes
      slient corruption?
