I have removed CONFIG_SMB_CLIENT (and fixed the spelling typo in the comment).
Updated patch 1 attached (the other two are unchanged).

My reason for adding CONFIG_SMB_CLIENT, enabling CONFIG_SMB_CLIENT
when CONFIG_CIFS was enabled, I was trying to make the Makefile more clear
(without changing any behavior):

e.g. this seemed less confusing
+++ b/fs/smb/Makefile
@@ -0,0 +1,5 @@
+# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

+obj-$(CONFIG_SMBFS)            += common/
+obj-$(CONFIG_SMB_CLIENT)      += client/
+obj-$(CONFIG_SMB_SERVER)       += server/

instead of
