Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix file type corruption in
 cifs_reparse_point_to_fattr()

Setting the file type in cf_mode without clearing the existing S_IFMT
bits first is wrong as it corrupts the file type when cf_mode already
has type bits set (e.g. S_IFREG | S_IFLNK == S_IFDIR | S_IFREG).

Clear S_IFMT before setting S_IFLNK for native and SMB1 symlinks.
