v2 - Added an LP BugLink.

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929831

Microsoft has asked to have commit commit 4e456b30f78c429b183db420e23b26cde7e03a78 applied.
A customer is reporting difficulties, though details are quite sparse.
The first 2 patches are scaffolding to make the backport simpler.

[Impact]

CIFS reconnects fail.

[Test Plan]

A test kernel made available to Microsoft has been verified to fix the problem.

[Where problems could occur]

This could perturb CIFS connections in new and different ways.
