smb: client: split cached_fid bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races
commit ec306600d5ba7148c9dbf8f5a8f1f5c1a044a241 upstream.
is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield byte in
struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run
concurrently. Bitfield assignments generate byte read–modify–write
operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one flag can
restore stale values of the others.
A possible interleaving is:
CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1, on_list=1)
CPU2: clear both flags (store 0)
CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits
To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool
fields.
