[PATCH v5 11/17] cifs: option to disable time-based eviction of cache

[nspmangalore@gmail.com]

From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@microsoft.com>

Today there is no way to disable time-based eviction of dir cache.
dir_cache_timeout = 0 meant immediate free up of dir cache on next
laundromat scan. We already have nohandlecache to disable dir cache.

This changes the meaning of dir_cache_timeout = 0 to mean unlimited
timeout. Shrinker-based eviction is still possible.
