SRU Justification:

Impact:
If a cifs share is mounted in ubuntu-natty and we try to suspend cifsd
prevents the laptop from suspending.

Fix:
Apply f06ac72e929115f2772c29727152ba0832d641e4 cherry picked from
upstream commit (this is already in ubuntu-oneric) to ubuntu-natty linux
kernel.
This small patch allows the laptop to suspend even if a cifs share is
mounted.

Testcase:
Boot ubuntu-natty. Mount cifs share. Suspend or Hibernate. (This will
not work.)
Boot ubuntu-natty with cifs patch applied. Mount cifs share. Suspend or
Hibernate. (This works.)

Patch

From 7d58ea603394ba00dece56514baca9ffc94b0c64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] cifs, freezer: add wait_event_freezekillable and have cifs use it

CIFS currently uses wait_event_killable to put tasks to sleep while
they await replies from the server. That function though does not
allow the freezer to run. In many cases, the network interface may
be going down anyway, in which case the reply will never come. The
client then ends up blocking the computer from suspending.

Fix this by adding a new wait_event_freezable variant --
wait_event_freezekillable. The idea is to combine the behavior of
wait_event_killable and wait_event_freezable -- put the task to
sleep and only allow it to be awoken by fatal signals, but also
allow the freezer to do its job.
