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:

Instead of fixing this with some kind of "is module initialized"
approach, this patch instead moves that functionality to procfs,
setting a write op for the existing open_dirs entry, where
writing a 0 to it will drop the cached directory entries.
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.
Fixes: dde6667fa3c8 ("smb: client: add drop_dir_cache module parameter to invalidate cached dirents")
