Steve mentioned on IRC that we should limit this behavior to the
noserverino case. Replacement patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] cifs: always revalidate hardlinked inodes when using noserverino

The old cifs_revalidate logic always revalidated hardlinked inodes.
This hack allowed CIFS to pass some connectathon tests when server inode
numbers aren't used (basic test7, in particular).
