cifs: reset iface weights when we cannot find a candidate
We now do a weighted selection of server interfaces when allocating new channels. The weights are decided based on the speed advertised. The fulfilled weight for an interface is a counter that is used to track the interface selection. It should be reset back to zero once all interfaces fulfilling their weight. In cifs_chan_update_iface, this reset logic was missing. As a result when the server interface list changes, the client may not be able to find a new candidate for other channels after all interfaces have been fulfilled.
