cifs: do not depend on release_iface for maintaining iface_list
parse_server_interfaces should be in complete charge of maintaining the iface_list linked list. Today, iface entries are removed from the list only when the last refcount is dropped. i.e. in release_iface. However, this can result in undercounting of refcount if the server stops advertising interfaces (which Azure SMB server does). This change puts parse_server_interfaces in full charge of maintaining the iface_list. So if an empty list is returned by the server, the entries in the list will immediately be removed. This way, a following call to the same function will not find entries in the list.
