Make logic of cifs_get_inode() much clearer by moving code to sub
functions and adding comments.
Document the steps this function does.
cifs_get_inode_info() gets and updates a file inode metadata from its
file path.
* If caller already has raw info data from server they can pass it.
* If inode already exists (just need to update) caller can pass it.
Step 1: get raw data from server if none was passed
Step 2: parse raw data into intermediate internal cifs_fattr struct
Step 3: set fattr uniqueid which is later used for inode number. This
can sometime be done from raw data
Step 4: tweak fattr according to mount options (file_mode, acl to mode
bits, uid, gid, etc)
Step 5: update or create inode from final fattr struct
* add is_smb1_server() helper
* add is_inode_cache_good() helper
* move SMB1-backupcreds-getinfo-retry to separate func
cifs_backup_query_path_info().
* move set-uniqueid code to separate func cifs_set_fattr_ino()
* don't clobber uniqueid from backup cred retry
* fix some probable corner cases memleaks

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
