Querying FILE_INFO_STANDARD structure via SMB_INFO_STANDARD level over
TRANS2_QUERY_PATH_INFORMATION or TRANS2_QUERY_FILE_INFORMATION command
(implemented in CIFSSMBQPathInfo() when called with argument legacy=true)
is mostly unusable.
Win9x SMB server returns over those commands the FILE_INFO_STANDARD
structure with swapped TIME and DATE fields, compared with [MS-CIFS] spec
and Samba server implementation. Therefore this command cannot be used
unless we know against which server implementation we are connected.
There are already two fallback mechanisms for querying information about
path which are working correctly against Samba, NT and Win9x servers:
CIFSFindFirst() and SMBQueryInformation() commands.
So remove TRANS2_QUERY_PATH_INFORMATION/SMB_INFO_STANDARD code from
CIFSSMBQPathInfo() function, when the function is called with legacy=true.
Note that there is no use of CIFSSMBQPathInfo(legacy=true) anymore.

Response handling of cifs_backup_query_path_info() function in
cifs_get_fattr() is broken and can cause buffer overflows because
cifs_backup_query_path_info() prepares request with different info levels
but the response parser in cifs_get_fattr() always expects response
structure FILE_DIRECTORY_INFO.
Code which queries file/dir attributes via CIFSFindFirst() is already
implemented in cifs_query_path_info() function, so extend it for
backup_cred(), which is the only missing functionality compared to
cifs_backup_query_path_info().
With this change the cifs_query_path_info() would do everything which is
open-coded in cifs_set_fattr_ino() and cifs_backup_query_path_info()
functions for SMB1. So remove that SMB1 code from cifs_set_fattr_ino() and
also remove whole cifs_backup_query_path_info() function.

When wsl_to_fattr() is called from readdir() then we should skip validation
of WSL EAs because readdir FIND_FIRST/NEXT results do not provide EA values
at all. For readdir() reply in this case return DT_UNKNOWN type instead of
DT_REG (which is the result of failed WSL EAs validation).
When validation is skipped and some required EAs are missing then returns
true from wsl_to_fattr() function but do not set fattr->cf_mode. This makes
readdir() to return DT_UNKNOWN type in the same way as it is doing NFS
reparse point function.
This change fixes readdir() result that for some WSL reparse points returns
DT_REG due to missing EAs. After this change it returns DT_UNKNOWN, which
is better than returning wrong type.

iself. This change extend >set_EA() callback with a new boolean parameter
to allow it.

After creating a native socket via the IO_REPARSE_TAG_AF_UNIX reparse
point, try to set also the WSL EA $LXMOD.
This makes the native Win32 / NT socket file recognized also under
WSL subsystem. WSL subsystem uses same reparse point tag but requires also
to be EA $LXMOD set.
Fixes: 45a99d5d1173 ("cifs: Add support for creating native Windows sockets")

MS-FSCC 2.1.2.7 for IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK reparse points currently
documents only layout version 2 format.
IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK reparse point buffer of layout version 1 format
is documented in the newly released Microsoft WSL source code at github:
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/2.5.8/test/windows/DrvFsTests.cpp#L775-L815
Difference between version 1 and version 2 is that version 1 stores the
symlink target location into data section of the file, but version 2 stores
it directly into the reparse point buffer.
This change implements support for parsing WSL symlinks in this layout
version 1 format by Linux SMB client and so allow to recognize these type
of symlinks like Windows WSL.

Should we pass initialized fid to ->open()? When SMB2/3 leasing is
enabled, the open path copies fid->lease_key into the outgoing CREATE
request, potentially disclosing 16 bytes of stale stack data to the
server ?
So, how about updating it like this ?
struct cifs_fid fid = {};
...

Add a new mount option -o symlink=wsl1 which cause that all newly created
symlinks would be of WSL style in layout version 1 format. This type of
symlinks is supported by all WSL versions.
Existing mount option -o symlink=wsl will be now an alias to -o
symlink=wsl2 which creates symlinks in layout version 2 format.

It is the same here. we need to initialize fid and call new_lease_key().
