This patchset is simply a set of minor cleanup patches. Most of it is
in the command-line option parsing code, but there's also some error
handling cleanups.

These patches help lay the groundwork for the coming overhaul of
mount.cifs to make it safer to install setuid root.

Jeff Layton (10):
  mount.cifs: clean up parse_server
  mount.cifs: remove unneeded uname call
  mount.cifs: simplify command-line option parsing
  mount.cifs: remove bogus rsize/wsize options
  mount.cifs: remove uuid option
  mount.cifs: make check_mountpoint a noop for non-legacy builds
  mount.cifs: fix error handling when duplicating options string
  mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in main()
  mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in mount_cifs_usage()
  mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in get_password_from_file
