cifs: Don't replace dentries for dfs mounts
Doing a readdir on a dfs root can result in the dentries for directories
with a dfs share mounted being replaced by new dentries for objects
returned by the readdir call. These new dentries on shares mounted with
unix extenstions show up as symlinks pointing to the dfs share.

In the example above, the stat command mounts the dfs share at
cifs/testlink. The subsequent ls on the dfsroot directory replaces the
dentry for testlink with a symlink.
In the earlier code, the d_invalidate command returned an -EBUSY error
when attempting to invalidate directories. This stopped the code from
replacing the directories with symlinks returned by the readdir call.
Changes were recently made to the d_invalidate() command so
that it no longer returns an error code. This results in the directory
with the mounted dfs share being replaced by a symlink which denotes a
dfs share.
