[PATCH 4.17 015/324] smb3: increase initial number of credits requested to allow write

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d409014e4feeab486fb36b350abfc4c94de8be37 ]

Compared to other clients the Linux smb3 client ramps up
credits very slowly, taking more than 128 operations before a
maximum size write could be sent (since the number of credits
requested is only 2 per small operation, causing the credit
limit to grow very slowly).

This lack of credits initially would impact large i/o performance,
when large i/o is tried early before enough credits are built up.
