cifs: Fix memory leak on the deferred close

xfstests on smb21 report kmemleak as below:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881767d6200 (size 64): comm xfs_io, pid 1284, jiffies 4294777434 (age 20.789s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 80 5a d0 11 81 88 ff ff 78 8a aa 63 81 88 ff ff .Z……x..c…. 00 71 99 76 81 88 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .q.v………… backtrace: [<00000000ad04e6ea>] cifs_close+0x92/0x2c0 [<0000000028b93c82>] __fput+0xff/0x3f0 [<00000000d8116851>] task_work_run+0x85/0xc0 [<0000000027e14f9e>] do_exit+0x5e5/0x1240 [<00000000fb492b95>] do_group_exit+0x58/0xe0 [<00000000129a32d9>] __x64_sys_exit_group+0x28/0x30 [<00000000e3f7d8e9>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<00000000102e8a0b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

When cancel the deferred close work, we should also cleanup the struct cifs_deferred_close.
