[PATCH 3.16 119/306] Do not send SMB3 SET_INFO request if nothing is changing

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 18dd8e1a65ddae2351d0f0d6dd4a334f441fc5fa upstream.

[CIFS] We had cases where we sent a SMB2/SMB3 setinfo request with all
timestamp (and DOS attribute) fields marked as 0 (ie do not change)
e.g. on chmod or chown.
