There are various use cases that are becoming more common in which password
changes are scheduled on a server(s) periodically but the clients connected
to this server need to stay connected (even in the face of brief network
reconnects) due to mounts which can not be easily unmounted and mounted at
will, and servers that do password rotation do not always have the ability
to tell the clients exactly when to the new password will be effective,
so add support for an alt password ("password2=") on mount (and also
remount) so that we can anticipate the upcoming change to the server
without risking breaking existing mounts.
An alternative would have been to use the kernel keyring for this but the
processes doing the reconnect do not have access to the keyring but do
have access to the ses structure.

Serialise cifs_construct_tcon() with cifs_mount_mutex to handle
parallel mounts that may end up reusing the session and tcon created
by it.

Change "compress=" mount option to a boolean flag, that, if set,
will enable negotiating compression algorithms with the server.
Do not de/compress anything for now.

Allow the user to create special files and symlinks by choosing
between WSL and NFS reparse points via 'reparse={nfs,wsl}' mount
options. If unset or 'reparse=default', the client will default to
creating them via NFS reparse points.
Creating WSL reparse points isn't supported yet, so simply return
error when attempting to mount with 'reparse=wsl' for now.

We have several places in the code where we treat the
error -EAGAIN very differently. Some code retry for
arbitrary number of times.
Introducing this new mount option named "retrans", so
that all these handlers of -EAGAIN can retry a fixed
number of times. This applies only to soft mounts.

There was a wrong assumption that with CONFIG_CIFS_DFS_UPCALL=y there
would always be a dns_resolver key set up so we could unconditionally
upcall to resolve UNC hostname rather than using the value provided by
mount(2).
Only require it when performing automount of junctions within a DFS
share so users that don't have dns_resolver key still can mount their
regular shares with server hostname resolved by mount.cifs(8).
