CIFS use sensible file nlink values if unprovided
commit 6658b9f7 upstream. Certain servers may not set the NumberOfLinks field in query file/path info responses. In such a case, cifs_inode_needs_reval() assumes that all regular files are hardlinks and triggers revalidation, leading to excessive and unnecessary network traffic. This change hardcodes cf_nlink (and subsequently i_nlink) when not returned by the server, similar to what already occurs in cifs_mkdir().
