Paulo Alcantara ce04127c58 smb: client: ensure to try all targets when finding nested links
With current implementation, when a nested DFS link is found during
mount(2), the client follows the referral and then try to connect to
all of its targets.  If all targets failed, the client bails out
rather than retrying remaining targets from previous referral.

Fix this by stacking all referrals and targets so the client can retry
remaining targets from previous referrals in case all targets of
current referral have failed.

Thanks to samba, this can be easily tested like below

* Run the following under dfs folder in samba server

  $ ln -s "msdfs:srv\\bad-share" link1
  $ ln -s "msdfs:srv\\dfs\\link1,srv\\good-share" link0

* Before patch

  $ mount.cifs //srv/dfs/link0 /mnt -o ...
  mount error(2): No such file or directory
  Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)...

* After patch

  $ mount.cifs //srv/dfs/link0 /mnt -o ...
  # ls /mnt
  bar  fileshare1  sub

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.
