cifs: Add support for creating WSL-style symlinks
This change implements support for creating new symlink in WSL-style by Linux cifs client when -o reparse=wsl mount option is specified. WSL-style symlink uses reparse point with tag IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK and symlink target location is stored in reparse buffer in UTF-8 encoding prefixed by 32-bit flags. Flags bits are unknown, but it was observed that WSL always sets flags to value 0x02000000. Do same in Linux cifs client. New symlinks would be created in WSL-style only in case the mount option -o reparse=wsl is specified, which is not by default. So default CIFS mounts are not affected by this change.
