[CIFS] When file is deleted locally but later recreated on the server
fix cifs negative dentries so they are freed faster (not requiring umount or readdir e.g.) so the client recognizes the new file on the server more quickly. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

-Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that file handle
+Defer close of a file handle slightly if pending writes depend on that handle
(this reduces the EBADF bad file handle errors that can be logged under heavy
stress on writes). Modify cifs Kconfig options to expose CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2
-Fix SFU style symlinks and mknod needed for servers which do not support the CIFS
-Unix Extensions. Fix setfacl/getfacl on bigendian.
