rxrpc: Allow the reply time to be obtained on a client call
Allow the epoch value to be queried on a server connection. This is in the rxrpc header of every packet for use in routing and is derived from the client's state. It's also not supposed to change unless the client gets restarted. AFS can make use of this information to deduce whether a fileserver has been restarted because the fileserver makes client calls to the filesystem driver's cache manager to send notifications (ie. callback breaks) about conflicting changes from other clients. These convey the fileserver's own epoch value back to the filesystem. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
