cifs: failure to add channel on iface should bump up weight
[ Upstream commit 6aac002b ] After the interface selection policy change to do a weighted round robin, each iface maintains a weight_fulfilled. When the weight_fulfilled reaches the total weight for the iface, we know that the weights can be reset and ifaces can be allocated from scratch again. During channel allocation failures on a particular channel, weight_fulfilled is not incremented. If a few interfaces are inactive, we could end up in a situation where the active interfaces are all allocated for the total_weight, and inactive ones are all that remain. This can cause a situation where no more channels can be allocated further. This change fixes it by increasing weight_fulfilled, even when channel allocation failure happens. This could mean that if there are temporary failures in channel allocation, the iface weights may not strictly be adhered to. But that's still okay.
