[PATCH 6/7] smbd: only reprocess printer_list.tdb if it changed

The per-client smbd printer share inventory is currently updated from
printer_list.tdb when a client enumerates printers, via EnumPrinters or
NetShareEnum.
printer_list.tdb is populated by the background print process, based on
the latest printcap values retrieved from the printing backend (e.g.
CUPS) at regular intervals.
This change ensures that per-client smbd processes don't reparse
printer_list.tdb if it hasn't been updated since the last enumeration.
