smb: client: fix (remove) drop_dir_cache module parameter
Being a module parameter, it's possible to do: # modprobe cifs drop_dir_cache=1 Which will lead to a crash, because cifs_tcp_ses_list hasn't been initialized yet: [ 168.242624] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 [ 168.242952] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 168.243175] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 168.243394] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 168.243524] Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 168.243703] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1105 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 7.0.0-lku #5 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 168.244054] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.17.0-2-g4f253b9b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 168.244557] RIP: 0010:cifs_param_set_drop_dir_cache+0x7c/0x100 [cifs] ...

Also make it available only when CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG=y. A small change needed now is to not call flush_delayed_work() on invalidate_all_cached_dirs() when called from procfs (can't sleep in that context). So add a @sync arg to invalidate_all_cached_dirs() to control when to flush the delayed works.
