cifs: convert cifs_tcp_ses_lock from a rwlock to a spinlock

cifs_tcp_ses_lock is a rwlock with protects the cifs_tcp_ses_list,
server->smb_ses_list and the ses->tcon_list. It also protects a few
ref counters in server, ses and tcon. In most cases the critical section
doesn't seem to be large, in a few cases where it is slightly large, there
seem to be really no benefit from concurrent access. I briefly considered RCU
mechanism but it appears to me that there is no real need.

Replace it with a spinlock and get rid of the last rwlock in the cifs code.
