Upstream commit adfeb3e00e8e1b9fb4ad19eb7367e7c272d16003 introduced the tunable
echo_interval, and used the local variable here because it was always assigned
the server tunable. Then, the backported commit
b8c600120fc87d53642476f48c8055b38d6e14c7 changed it to server->echo_interval
because now the local variable could be assigned 0. So, the right thing here is
to keep the original line.
