Assuming
- //HOST/a is mounted on /mnt
- //HOST/b is mounted on /mnt/b

On a slow connection, running 'df' and killing it while it's
processing /mnt/b can make cifs_get_inode_info() returns -ERESTARTSYS.

This triggers the following chain of events:
=> the dentry revalidation fail
=> dentry is put and released
=> superblock associated with the dentry is put
=> /mnt/b is unmounted

This patch makes cifs_d_revalidate() return the error instead of 0
(invalid) when cifs_revalidate_dentry() fails, except for ENOENT (file
deleted) and ESTALE (file recreated).

We do need to find out how a single client test could generate ESTALE
though (perhaps we forgot to drop a dentry on delete or rmdir).
The test is doing fsstress, so should be easy enough to shorten it
and repro and find out exactly why the ESTALE is coming.

Probably safer to put a dynamic trace point there in case EACCES or other rc
becomes too common in some scenario.

Tentatively merged into cifs-2.6.git for-next, since it seems to have
fixed the problem we saw with test generic/070
