[jcifs] Fast cache access patch

[Jan Schlößin]

Hello developers,

here comes a short patch for better name cache lookup throughput.
With this patch applied, my transfer runs _six_ times faster (many small
files with dozens of peers in parallel).

After revisal integrate it in the main development tree, please.


BTW. While browsing the source it comes to my mind that we can gain even
more throughput by reducing the number of mutual exclusions. May be with
 use of non blocking strategies. What do you think about?
