Pali Rohár 660618dde2 cifs: Add mount option -o symlink= for choosing symlink create type
Currently Linux CIFS client creates a new symlink of the first flavor which
is allowed by mount options, parsed in this order: -o (no)mfsymlinks,
-o (no)sfu, -o (no)unix (+ its aliases) and -o reparse=[type].

Introduce a new mount option -o symlink= for explicitly choosing a symlink
flavor. Possible options are:

  -o symlink=default    - The default behavior, like before this change.
  -o symlink=none       - Disallow creating a new symlinks
  -o symlink=native     - Create as native SMB symlink reparse point
  -o symlink=unix       - Create via SMB1 unix extension command
  -o symlink=mfsymlinks - Create as regular file of mfsymlinks format
  -o symlink=sfu        - Create as regular system file of SFU format
  -o symlink=nfs        - Create as NFS reparse point
  -o symlink=wsl        - Create as WSL reparse point

So for example specifying -o sfu,mfsymlinks,symlink=native will allow to
parse symlinks also of SFU and mfsymlinks types (which are disabled by
default unless mount option is explicitly specified), but new symlinks will
be created under native SMB type (which parsing is always enabled).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
