Subject: [ 37/47] cifs: fix revalidation test in cifs_llseek()

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 48a5730e5b71201e226ff06e245bf308feba5f10 upstream.

This test is always true so it means we revalidate the length every
time, which generates more network traffic.  When it is SEEK_SET or
SEEK_CUR, then we don't need to revalidate.
