3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit acc58d0bab55a50e02c25f00bd6a210ee121595f upstream.
When doing MTU i/o we need to leave some credits for possible reopen requests and other operations happening in parallel. Currently we leave 1 credit which is not enough even for reopen only: we need at least 2 credits if durable handle reconnect fails. Also there may be other operations at the same time including compounding ones which require 3 credits at a time each. Fix this by leaving 8 credits which is big enough to cover most scenarios.
Was able to reproduce this when server was configured to give out fewer credits than usual.
The proper fix would be to reconnect a file handle first and then obtain credits for an MTU request but this leads to bigger code changes and should happen in other patches.
