cifs: reduce roundtrips on create/qinfo requests
To work around some Window servers that return STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID on query infos under DFS namespaces that contain non-ASCII characters, we started checking for -ENOENT on every file open, and if so, then send additional requests to figure out whether it is a DFS link or not. It means that all those requests will be sent to every non-existing file. So, in order to reduce the number of roundtrips, check earlier whether status code is STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID and tcon supports dfs, and if so, then map -ENOENT to -EREMOTE so mount or automount will take care of chasing the DFS link -- if it isn't an DFS link, then -ENOENT will be returned appropriately.
