cifs: use discard iterator to discard unneeded network data more effi…

…ciently 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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Steve French <[email protected]>
