^^^^
When I backported this before, I put this at the beginning of the
function, not just before the put. I think that this is actually ok
though. We may end up running the function without holding the
references, but the objects we're concerned about can't be freed until
is_valid_oplock_break drops the spinlock.

I think we want to move the setting of netfile->oplock_break_cancelled
inside of the if above it.

If the work is already queued, I don't think we want to set the flag to
false. Doing so might be problematic if we somehow end up processing
this oplock break after a previous oplock break/reconnect/reopen
sequence, but while the initial oplock break is still running.
