We switch session state to SES_EXITING without cifs_tcp_ses_lock now,
it may lead to potential use-after-free issue.

Consider the following execution processes:

Thread 1:
__cifs_put_smb_ses()
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
if (--ses->ses_count > 0)
spin_unlock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
return
spin_unlock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
---> **GAP**
spin_lock(&ses->ses_lock)
if (ses->ses_status == SES_GOOD)
ses->ses_status = SES_EXITING
spin_unlock(&ses->ses_lock)

Thread 2:
cifs_find_smb_ses()
spin_lock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)
list_for_each_entry(ses, ...)
spin_lock(&ses->ses_lock)
if (ses->ses_status == SES_EXITING)
spin_unlock(&ses->ses_lock)
continue
...
spin_unlock(&ses->ses_lock)
if (ret)
cifs_smb_ses_inc_refcount(ret)
spin_unlock(&cifs_tcp_ses_lock)

If thread 1 is preempted in the gap and thread 2 start executing, thread 2
will get the session, and soon thread 1 will switch the session state to
SES_EXITING and start releasing it, even though thread 1 had increased the
session's refcount and still uses it.

So switch session state under cifs_tcp_ses_lock to eliminate this gap.
