Namjae Jeon 2145945feb ksmbd: route v2 lease breaks on the client lease channel
v2 leases are scoped by ClientGuid.  When the same client uses multiple
connections, smbtorture expects lease break notifications to be sent on
the connection associated with the client lease table, not necessarily
on the connection that owns the individual open being broken.

Keep a referenced connection in the lease table and use it for v2 lease
break notifications while it is still active.  Fall back to the open's
connection if the table connection is being released.
