Fwd: [PATCH 4/7] CIFS: Do not hide EINTR after sending network packets

[Steve French]

Pavel's patch looks correct to me, but since this may be a common
issue, how to better handle unexpected EINTR on sock_sendmsg, others
outside cifs/smb3 world may have run into this before and have
additional comments.

Currently we hide EINTR code returned from sock_sendmsg()
and return 0 instead. This makes a caller think that we
have successfully completed the network operation which is
not true. Fix this by properly returning EINTR to callers.
