Various reparse point and special file handling patches

[Steve French]

I have updated cifs-2.6.git for-next with Paulo's updated versions of
his reparse point, symlink and special file handling patches (pending
additional testing and review of this series).  See attached.

special files and symlinks in SMB3 POSIX
e2e4f945ac39 smb: client: cleanup smb2_query_reparse_point()
