These patches passed the 'buildbot' smb3 regression test suites,
including http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/2/builds/105
among other test groups,and are in cifs-2.6.git for-next, and do seem
very important (over half belong in stable as well) but allowing some
more time for review comments before sending upstream.
