[CIFS] make sure that DFS pathnames are properly formed
The paths in a DFS request are supposed to only have a single preceding backslash, but we are sending them with a double backslash. This is exposing a bug in Windows where it also sends a path in the response that has a double backslash. The existing code that builds the mount option string however expects a double backslash prefix in a couple of places when it tries to use the path returned by build_path_from_dentry. Fix compose_mount_options to expect properly formed DFS paths (single backslash at front). Also clean up error handling in that function. There was a possible NULL pointer dereference and situations where a partially built option string would be returned. Tested against Samba 3.0.28-ish server and Samba 3.3 and Win2k8.
