[PATCH 5/9] smb: client: sync echo_interval on remount

Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Rajasi Mandal <[email protected]>

Add echo_interval handling to smb3_sync_server_opts() so that
changing echo_interval via remount actually takes effect on the
running connection.

The server echo worker fires every server->echo_interval jiffies,
but that field was never updated from cifs_sb->ctx on remount.
Convert the user-supplied seconds value to jiffies and reschedule
the echo worker with mod_delayed_work() so the new interval is
picked up immediately.

The assignment is guarded (if ctx->echo_interval) so that an
explicit echo_interval=0 does not accidentally reset the interval.
