This will be a problem since we skip sending an echo when the client
has gotten a response recently (within the last echo interval).

Consider:

1s	client sends a normal smb request
2s	client gets a response
30s	echo workqueue job pops, and decides we got a response
	recently and don't need to send another
...
65s	kernel_recvmsg times out, and we see that we haven't gotten
	a response in >60s

...I think you'll probably want to only reconnect when we haven't
gotten a response in 2 echo intervals? Or maybe there's a better way?
