[PATCH 2/4] cifs: do not depend on release_iface for maintaining iface_list

[nspmangalore@gmail.com]

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

parse_server_interfaces should be in complete charge of maintaining
the iface_list linked list. Today, iface entries are removed
from the list only when the last refcount is dropped.
i.e. in release_iface. However, this can result in undercounting
of refcount if the server stops advertising interfaces (which
Azure SMB server does).

This change puts parse_server_interfaces in full charge of
maintaining the iface_list. So if an empty list is returned
by the server, the entries in the list will immediately be
removed. This way, a following call to the same function will
not find entries in the list.

Fixes: aa45dadd34e4 ("cifs: change iface_list from array to sorted linked list")
