cifs: set sb->s_d_op before calling d_make_root()
Currently, the s_root dentry doesn't get its d_op pointer set to anything. This breaks lookups in the root of case-insensitive mounts since that relies on having d_hash and d_compare routines that know to treat the filename as case-insensitive. cifs.ko has been broken this way for a long time, but commit 1c929cfe6 ("switch cifs"), added a cryptic comment which is removed in the patch below, which makes me wonder if this was done deliberately for some reason. It's not clear to me why we'd want the s_root not to have d_op set properly. It may have something to do with d_automount or d_revalidate on the root, but my suspicion in looking over the code is that Al was just trying to preserve the existing behavior when changing this code over to use s_d_op. This patch changes it so that we set s_d_op before calling d_make_root and removes the comment. I tested mounting, accessing and unmounting several types of shares (including DFS referrals) and everything still seemed to work OK afterward. I could be missing something however, so please do let me know if I am.
