[CIFS] Fix locking problem around some cifs uses of i_size write

Could cause hangs on smp systems in i_size_read on a cifs inode
whose size has been previously simultaneously updated from
different processes.

Thanks to Brian Wang for some great testing/debugging on this
hard problem.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #7903
