[SRU][N:linux-azure][PATCH 0/1] azure: backport "smb: client: fix cifs_pick_channel when channel needs reconnect"

[Vinicius Peixoto]

BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/2140351

[Impact]

Some Ubuntu Azure kernels are missing an important SMB bugfix related to multichannel support, namely
79280191c2fd ("smb: client: fix cifs_pick_channel when channel needs reconnect"). This can potentially cause issues for users on Azure.

[Fix]

Backport the fix commit to all kernels that contain c43a8ac396d ("cifs: cifs_pick_channel should try selecting active channels"):

Questing: patch already pulled through stable updates
Noble: simple cherry-pick

[Test plan]

Build tested only; the Azure Files team will perform the validation on their side.

[Where problems could occur]

This change is very small (a one-line change) and has little regression potential, but could cause issues for users that rely on SMB multichannel features.
