cifs: overhaul cifs_revalidate and rename to cifs_revalidate_dentry
cifs_revalidate is renamed to cifs_revalidate_dentry as a later patch will add a by-filehandle variant. Add a new "invalid_mapping" flag to the cifsInodeInfo that indicates that the pagecache is considered invalid. Add a new routine to check inode attributes whenever they're updated and set that flag if the inode has changed on the server. cifs_revalidate_dentry is then changed to just update the attrcache if needed and then to zap the pagecache if it's not valid. There are some other behavior changes in here as well. Open files are now allowed to have their caches invalidated. I see no reason why we'd want to keep stale data around just because a file is open. Also, cifs_revalidate_cache uses the server_eof for revalidating the file size since that should more closely match the size of the file on the server.
