cifs: fix sharing of DFS connections



When matching DFS connections, we can't rely on the values set in
cifs_sb_info::prepath and cifs_tcon::tree_name as they might change
during DFS failover.  The DFS referrals related to a specific DFS tcon
are already matched earlier in match_server(), therefore we can safely
skip those checks altogether as the connection is guaranteed to be
unique for the DFS tcon.

Besides, when creating or finding an SMB session, make sure to also
refcount any DFS root session related to it (cifs_ses::dfs_root_ses),
so if a new DFS mount ends up reusing the connection from the old
mount while there was an umount(2) still in progress (e.g. umount(2)
-> cifs_umount() -> reconnect -> cifs_put_tcon()), the connection
could potentially be put right after the umount(2) finished.

Patch has minor update to include fix for unused variable issue
