[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-kernel] revert cifs backport to 6.1 added between 6.5.13-1 and 6.5.13-2

[Stoiko Ivanov]

copying files within a cifs-share currently result in the following
trace:
```

```

a quick check identified proxmox-kernel-6.5.13-2 as the first affected
version, and `2dc07a11e269bfbe5589e99b60cdbae0118be979` as likely
source of the issue. The commit adapts the changes from
`7b2404a886f8b91250c31855d287e632123e1746` to work with the code in
kernel 6.1.
This is not needed as the relevant changes were made in 6.4 and
are already part of the 6.5 tree -
`66dabbb65d673aef40dd17bf62c042be8f6d4a4b`

reverting the commit fixes copying files within a samba share.

Tested/reproduced with:
* a VM with the kernel as cifs-client
* one very crude samba-share allowing guest-write access on a Debian
  bookworm host
* as well as a share using cifscreds + multiuser (`mount.cifs(8)`)
* mounting the share, copying any file from one directory to another
  on the same share (with `cp` and Thunar and Nautilus).
