Pali Rohár 723f4ef904 cifs: Fix parsing native symlinks relative to the export
SMB symlink which has SYMLINK_FLAG_RELATIVE set is relative (as opposite of
the absolute) and it can be relative either to the current directory (where
is the symlink stored) or relative to the top level export path. To what it
is relative depends on the first character of the symlink target path.

If the first character is path separator then symlink is relative to the
export, otherwise to the current directory. Linux (and generally POSIX
systems) supports only symlink paths relative to the current directory
where is symlink stored.

Currently if Linux SMB client reads relative SMB symlink with first
character as path separator (slash), it let as is. Which means that Linux
interpret it as absolute symlink pointing from the root (/). But this
location is different than the top level directory of SMB export (unless
SMB export was mounted to the root) and thefore SMB symlinks relative to
the export are interpreted wrongly by Linux SMB client.

Fix this problem. As Linux does not have equivalent of the path relative to
the top of the mount point, convert such symlink target path relative to
the current directory. Do this by prepending "../" pattern N times before
the SMB target path, where N is the number of path separators found in SMB
symlink path.

So for example, if SMB share is mounted to Linux path /mnt/share/, symlink
is stored in file /mnt/share/test/folder1/symlink (so SMB symlink path is
test\folder1\symlink) and SMB symlink target points to \test\folder2\file,
then convert symlink target path to Linux path ../../test/folder2/file.

Deduplicate code for parsing SMB symlinks in native form from functions
smb2_parse_symlink_response() and parse_reparse_native_symlink() into new
function smb2_parse_native_symlink() and pass into this new function a new
full_path parameter from callers, which specify SMB full path where is
symlink stored.

This change fixes resolving of the native Windows symlinks relative to the
top level directory of the SMB share.

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.
