[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: Fix incorrect return code being printed in cFYI messages

[Steve French]

I don't mind killing them, if there is a quick and easy way to catch
the function returns for all of the cifs vfs exits, but we use these
all the time for debugging, so need an alternative to catch all of the
entry/exits from the vfs to cifs.
