cifs: allow syscalls to be restarted in __smb_send_rqst()
A customer has reported that several files in their multi-threaded app were left with size of 0 because most of the read(2) calls returned -EINTR and they assumed no bytes were read. Obviously, they could have fixed it by simply retrying on -EINTR. We noticed that most of the -EINTR on read(2) were due to real-time signals sent by glibc to process wide credential changes (SIGRT_1), and its signal handler had been established with SA_RESTART, in which case those calls could have been automatically restarted by the kernel. Let the kernel decide to whether or not restart the syscalls when there is a signal pending in __smb_send_rqst() by returning -ERESTARTSYS. If it can't, it will return -EINTR anyway.
