[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] mount.cifs: add support for sending
IPv6 scope ID to kernel

When getaddrinfo returns an IPv6 address with a non-zero scope_id, send
that to the kernel in the new ip6scope mount option. This allows people
to mount servers via their link-local IPv6 addresses (assuming the kernel
supports this option, of course).
