ceph: fix cap removal races
The iterate_session_caps helper traverses the session caps list and tries
to grab an inode reference. However, the __ceph_remove_cap was clearing
the inode backpointer _before_ removing itself from the session list,
causing a null pointer dereference.
Clear cap->ci under protection of s_cap_lock to avoid the race, and to
tightly couple the list and backpointer state. Use a local flag to
indicate whether we are releasing the cap, as cap->session may be modified
by a racing thread in iterate_session_caps.
