cifs: wait indefinitely for responses
The client should not be timing out on individual SMB requests. Too much
of the state between client and server is tied to the state of the
socket. If we time out requests and issue spurious disconnects then that
comprimises data integrity.
Instead of doing this complicated dance where we try to decide how long
to wait for a response for particular requests, have the client instead
wait indefinitely for a response. Also, use a TASK_KILLABLE sleep here
so that fatal signals will break out of this waiting.
Later patches will add support for detecting dead peers and forcing
reconnects based on that.
