Subject: [PATCH 5.10 124/141] cifs: use discard iterator to discard unneeded network data more efficiently

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit cf0604a686b11175d8beae60281c4ccc95aaa5c2 ]

The iterator, ITER_DISCARD, that can only be used in READ mode and
just discards any data copied to it, was added to allow a network
filesystem to discard any unwanted data sent by a server.
Convert cifs_discard_from_socket() to use this.
