smb: client: stop revalidating reparse points unnecessarily
[ Upstream commit 6d039984c15d1ea1ca080176df6dfab443e44585 ]
Query dir responses don't provide enough information on reparse points
such as major/minor numbers and symlink targets other than reparse
tags, however we don't need to unconditionally revalidate them only
because they are reparse points. Instead, revalidate them only when
their ctime or reparse tag has changed.
For instance, Windows Server updates ctime of reparse points when
their data have changed.
