The systemd timer running the `rclone bisync` script is the trigger,
disabling the timer leads to no more stuck processes. Thus, it looks
like IO usage on the share is the trigger, but only in that context.
`rclone` is not reading/writing much data, as there are no differences
between the local or remote folders in this case - at most it is issuing
a few `stat` calls. I don't seem to be able to reproduce similar hangs
by stressing the cifs mount with manual `stat` calls either.

I suspect the kernel might be the wrong bug category for this issue, I
am unsure if it would really fit under the kernel, keyutils, or cifs-
utils depending on which component is truly responsible for the stall.
It is possible that `request-key` (and the subsequent `cifs.idmap` or
`cifs.upcall` invocations?) is what is hanging, and the kernel simply
does not expect that invocation to take such a long time.
