Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Fix preauth hash corruption

smb311_update_preauth_hash() uses the shash in server->secmech without appropriate locking, and this can lead to sessions corrupting each other's preauth hashes.

The following script can easily trigger the problem:

	#!/bin/sh -e

	NMOUNTS=10
	for i in $(seq $NMOUNTS);
		mkdir -p /tmp/mnt$i
		umount /tmp/mnt$i 2>/dev/null || :
	done
	while :; do
		for i in $(seq $NMOUNTS); do
			mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/test /tmp/mnt$i -o ... &
		done
		wait
		for i in $(seq $NMOUNTS); do
			umount /tmp/mnt$i
		done
	done

Usually within seconds this leads to one or more of the mounts failing with the following errors, and a "Bad SMB2 signature for message" is seen in the server logs:

CIFS: VFS: \\192.168.0.1 failed to connect to IPC (rc=-13)
CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

Fix it by holding the server mutex just like in the other places where the shashes are used.
