Aleksandr Khromov db2267b27c ksmbd: fill in FileSysIdentifier in FS_POSIX_INFORMATION
smb2_get_info_filesystem() reports 56 bytes for FS_POSIX_INFORMATION,
that is the whole of FILE_SYSTEM_POSIX_INFO, but never assigns
FileSysIdentifier.  Those eight bytes go to the client as they are found
in the response buffer.

The buffer is zeroed on allocation, so a standalone request leaks
nothing.  A compound request can leak: the offset of the next response
is advanced by the length pinned for the previous one, so a reply that
was written into the buffer and then dropped in favour of the short
error response of smb2_set_err_rsp() stays there, and the next reply is
laid over it with only the header cleared.

Report the file system id statfs() returned, which is what the field is
for.  FileSysIdentifier is __le64 and f_fsid is a pair of ints, so
assemble the value first, val[0] as the low half, and convert it on the
way out.
