Mount point detection by device id comparison

[Ralph Boehme]

Hi Carson,

sorry for the long delay, but the whole file server team was busy at SDC 
in Fremont. And thanks for contributing!

Either one will do, most devs are present at both places.

I guess Volker would be better suited to answer you questions but let me 
try:

- submitting MRs via gitlab and trying to get attention via this ML is 
the definitely the way to go

- afaict for complete handling of 
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT/IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT there's more 
stuff needed, cf MS-FSCC 2.1.2.5 Mount Point Reparse Data Buffer and 
<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/reparse-points>

- Volker is currently working an reparse point support as part of an 
effort to implement SMB3 UNIX Extensions, but this should be, afaict, 
largely tangential

Hth!
