[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH] cifs: don't use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber in is_path_accessible

Because it's lighter weight, CIFS tries to use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber to
verify the accessibility of the root inode and then falls back to doing a
full QPathInfo if that fails with -EOPNOTSUPP. I have at least a report
of a server that returns NT_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR rather than something
that translates to EOPNOTSUPP.

Rather than trying to be clever with that call, just have
is_path_accessible do a normal QPathInfo. That call is widely
supported and it shouldn't increase the overhead significantly.
