[CIFS] revalidate parent inode when rmdir done within that directory

When a search is pending of a parent directory, and a child directory
within it is removed, we need to reset the parent directory's time
so that we don't reuse the (now stale) search results.

Thanks to Gunter Kukkukk for reporting this:
