Subject: [PATCH] smb: server: fix last send credit problem causing disconnects

When we are about to use the last send credit that was
granted to us by the peer, we need to wait until
we are ourself able to grant at least one credit
to the peer. Otherwise it might not be possible
for the peer to grant more credits.

The following sections in MS-SMBD are related to this:

3.1.5.1 Sending Upper Layer Messages
...
If Connection.SendCredits is 1 and the CreditsGranted field of the
message is 0, stop processing.
...

3.1.5.9 Managing Credits Prior to Sending
...
If Connection.ReceiveCredits is zero, or if Connection.SendCredits is
one and the Connection.SendQueue is not empty, the sender MUST allocate
and post at least one receive of size Connection.MaxReceiveSize and MUST
increment Connection.ReceiveCredits by the number allocated and posted.
If no receives are posted, the processing MUST return a value of zero to
indicate to the caller that no Send message can be currently performed.
...

This problem was found by running this on Windows 2025
against ksmbd with required smb signing:
'frametest.exe -r 4k -t 20 -n 2000' after
'frametest.exe -w 4k -t 20 -n 2000'.
