[PATCH 2/2] cifs: Expand max share name length to 256

From: Scott Lovenberg <scott.lovenberg at gmail.com>

The old max share name length limit was 80 due to Windows NET SHARE
command not allowing more than that.  However, share names can be much
longer.  This is a more reasonable maximum share name length.
