Merge tag 'v6.8-rc-part1-smb-client' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6

Pull smb client fixes from Steve French:
 "Various smb client fixes, most related to better handling special file
  types:

   - Improve handling of special file types:
      - performance improvement (better compounding and better caching
        of readdir entries that are reparse points)
      - extend support for creating special files (sockets, fifos,
        block/char devices)
      - fix renaming and hardlinking of reparse points
      - extend support for creating symlinks with IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK

   - Multichannel logging improvement

   - Exception handling fix

   - Minor cleanups"
