[CIFS] Add IPv6 support

IPv6 support was started a few years ago in the cifs client, but lacked a
kernel helper function for parsing the ascii form of the ipv6 address. Now
that that is added (and now IPv6 is the default that some OS use now) it
was fairly easy to finish  the cifs ipv6 support.  This  requires that
CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL be enabled and (at least until the mount.cifs module is
modified to use a new ipv6 friendly call instead of gethostbyname) and the
ipv6 address be passed on the mount as "ip=" mount option.

Thanks

-Verison 1.48
+Version 1.49
+------------
+IPv6 support.  Enable ipv6 addresses to be passed on mount (put the ipv6
+address after the "ip=" mount option, at least until mount.cifs is fixed to
+handle DNS host to ipv6 name translation).
+
+Version 1.48
 ------------
 Fix mtime bouncing around from local idea of last write times to remote time.
 Fix hang (in i_size_read) when simultaneous size update of same remote file
