[ Upstream commit 0af1561b2d60bab2a2b00720a5c7b292ecc549ec ]

According to some logs reported by customers, CIFS client might end up
reporting unlinked files as existing in stat(2) due to concurrent
opens racing with unlink(2).

Besides sending the removal request to the server, the unlink process
could involve closing any deferred close as well as marking all
existing open handles as deleted to prevent them from deferring
closes, which increases the race window for potential concurrent
opens.

Fix this by unhashing the dentry in cifs_unlink() to prevent any
subsequent opens.  Any open attempts, while we're still unlinking,
will block on parent's i_rwsem.
