[PATCH 07/11] cifs: do not poll server interfaces too regularly

[Shyam Prasad N <nspmangalore@gmail.com>]

We have the server interface list hanging off the tcon
structure today for reasons unknown. So each tcon which is
connected to a file server can query them separately,
which is really unnecessary. To avoid this, in the query
function, we will check the time of last update of the
interface list, and avoid querying the server if it is
within a certain range.
