Note that this patch causes a regression (removing cifs module fails, due to unmount leaking a thread with this change).

We are testing a workaround to cifs.ko which would be needed if this patch were to be backported.

I've now dropped this from all of the stable queues. If you all figure this out, please let us know and we will be glad to queue this up, along with the fix.

thanks,
