Attempted to test patch and

-
 at the first attempt I've got oops caused by a missing CIFSGetDFSRefer patch,
 after digging it up and applying it, oops is disappeared. But it doesn't
 help much because your patch broke traversal over a dfs link,  at the moment
 dfs lookup relies on the second lookup attempt with a short path name (without
 tree name).
 BTW, you said that you almost made patch for a fake dfs inode,  it could fix
 things up.

+
 mkdir and rmdir on a dfs enabled share work (at least with samba), can't check 
 it on MS however.

PS:
 commiting CIFSGetDFSRefer patch will help to avoid oops-es and more people
 would be able to test the DFS related patches.
