Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Microsoft CIFS team requested below patches to be backported (it was
  marked for stable last month) to Ubuntu 18.04 and newer.

  6988a619f5b7 "cifs: allow syscalls to be restarted in __smb_send_rqst()"
  2659d3bff3e1 cifs: fix interrupted close commands

  Since 6988a619f5b79e4efadea6e19dcfe75fbcd350b5 hasn't been picked up
  for 5.4.0-1031-azure (the current 18.04 kernel version for Azure
  image), I would like make a request for backport.

  [Test Case]

  Since those are small improvements a basic smoke test can be used to
  avoid regressions:

  1. Install cifs-utils and dbench:

    $ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils dbench

  2. Mount a CIFS share using:

     $ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=REMOTEUSER
  \\remoteip\path\to\shared\folder /mnt

  3. Run dbench and check for regressions:

     $ cd /mnt; dbench 20 -t 120 -D .

  [Where problems could occur]

  The regression potential is restricted to the ability of mounting and
  accessing CIFS volumes.
