6.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Henrique Carvalho henrique.carvalho@suse.com
commit a9d1f38df7ecd0e21233447c9cc6fa1799eddaf3 upstream.
Replace close_cached_dir() calls under cfid_list_lock with a new close_cached_dir_locked() variant that uses kref_put() instead of kref_put_lock() to avoid recursive locking when dropping references.
While the existing code works if the refcount >= 2 invariant holds, this area has proven error-prone. Make deadlocks impossible and WARN on invariant violations.
