[Samba] smbmount filename case forcing

[Neil Prockter]

I couldn't see an easy way to get the options back in smbmount, not
without a longer look at previous versions which I'll do later.

I altered fs/smbfs/proc.c as you suggested and it seems to work fine. 

Any objections to putting support for case mangling back in? it is
handy.

Many Thanks, 

Neil 

p.s. Oddly, 'entry' has been changed to 'qname' in
smb_decode_long_dirent but not in smb_decode_short_dirent ( they are
both #if 0 so it has no effect )
