ksmbd: fix use-after-free in same_client_has_lease()
same_client_has_lease() returns an opinfo pointer from ci->m_op_list
after dropping ci->m_lock without taking a reference.
smb_grant_oplock() then dereferences that pointer in copy_lease() and
when checking breaking_cnt. A concurrent close can remove the old lease
from ci->m_op_list and drop the last reference before the caller uses
the returned pointer, leading to a use-after-free.
Take a reference when same_client_has_lease() selects an existing lease,
drop any previous match while scanning, and release the returned
reference in smb_grant_oplock() after copying the lease state.
