Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed
the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference
count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in
cifs_kill_sb() to solve it.

However, the cifs DIO path suffers from the same busy-dentry problem caused
by a delayed dentry reference-count release:

[dio] [cifsd] [close + umount]
netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked
...
cifs_demultiplex_thread
 netfs_unbuffered_write
  cifs_issue_write
  netfs_wait_for_in_progress_stream [1]
...
 netfs_write_subrequest_terminated
  netfs_subreq_clear_in_progress
   netfs_wake_collector // wake [1]
  netfs_put_subrequest
 netfs_put_request
  queue_work(system_dfl_wq, xxx) [2]
 // dio write return cifs_close
 _cifsFileInfo_put
  // cfile->count 2->1
  --cfile->count [3]

// umount
cifs_kill_sb
 kill_anon_super
  // warning triggered!
  shrink_dcache_for_umount [4]
[system_dfl_wq] [5]
netfs_free_request
 ...
 _cifsFileInfo_put
  // cfile->count 1->0
  --cfile->count
  queue_work(fileinfo_put_wq, xxx)

[fileinfo_put_wq] [6]
cifsFileInfo_put_work
 cifsFileInfo_put_final
  dput

If the umount path is triggered before [5], it results warning:
BUG: Dentry 00000000eab1f070{i=9a917b66ae404fec,n=test}  still in use (1)
[unmount of cifs cifs]

The existing per-inode ictx->io_count wait in cifs_evict_inode() does not
help: it lives in the inode eviction path, which runs after
shrink_dcache_for_umount() has already warned about the busy dentries.

Fix it by adding a per-superblock outstanding-rreq counter that is
incremented in cifs_init_request() and decremented in cifs_free_request().
In cifs_kill_sb(), before kill_anon_super(), wait for this counter to reach
0 - which guarantees that all cleanup_work for this sb have run and thus
all relevant cfile puts are queued on fileinfo_put_wq or serverclose_wq.
Then drain the workqueue so the dentry refs are dropped.

This is a targeted wait, not a flush of the system-wide system_dfl_wq.
