cifs: keep dentry reference in cifsFileInfo instead of inode reference
cifsFileInfo is a bit problematic. It contains a reference back to the struct file itself. This makes it difficult for a cifsFileInfo to exist without a corresponding struct file. It would be better instead of the cifsFileInfo just held info pertaining to the open file on the server instead without any back refrences to the struct file. This would allow it to exist after the filp to which it was originally attached was closed. Much of the use of the file pointer in this struct is to get at the dentry. Begin divorcing the cifsFileInfo from the struct file by keeping a reference to the dentry. Since the dentry will have a reference to the inode, we can eliminate the "pInode" field too and convert the igrab/iput to dget/dput.
