cifs: Add support for creating NFS-style symlinks
CIFS client is currently able to parse NFS-style symlinks, but is not able to create them. This functionality is useful when the mounted SMB share is used also by Windows NFS server (on Windows Server 2012 or new). It allows interop of symlinks between SMB share mounted by Linux CIFS client and same export from Windows NFS server mounted by some NFS client. New symlinks would be created in NFS-style only in case the mount option -o reparse=nfs is specified, which is not by default. So default CIFS mounts are not affected by this change.
