cifs: Fix UAF in cifs_demultiplex_thread()
There is a UAF when xfstests on cifs:

The UAF is because:
| mount(pid: 921) | cifsd(pid: 923) |
|---|
| cifs_demultiplex_thread
SMB2_negotiate | cifs_send_recv | compound_send_recv | smb_send_rqst | wait_for_response | wait_event_state [1] | | standard_receive3 | cifs_handle_standard | handle_mid | mid->resp_buf = buf; [2] | dequeue_mid [3] KILL the process [4] | resp_iov[i].iov_base = buf | free_rsp_buf [5] | | is_network_name_deleted [6] | callback
- After send request to server, wait the response until mid->mid_state != SUBMITTED;
- Receive response from server, and set it to mid;
- Set the mid state to RECEIVED;
- Kill the process, the mid state already RECEIVED, get 0;
- Handle and release the negotiate response;
- UAF.
It can be easily reproduce with add some delay in [3] - [6].
Only sync call has the problem since async call's callback is executed in cifsd process.
Add an extra state to mark the mid state to READY before wakeup the waitter, then it can get the resp safely.
