when unix extensions and cifsacl support are disabled. These
permissions changes are "ephemeral" however. They are lost whenever
a share is mounted and unmounted, or when memory pressure forces
the inode out of the cache.

Because of this, we'd like to introduce a behavior change to make
CIFS behave more like local DOS/Windows filesystems. When unix
extensions and cifsacl support aren't enabled, then don't silently
ignore changes to permission bits that can't be reflected on the
server.

Still, there may be people relying on the current behavior for
certain applications. This patch adds a new "dynperm" (and a
corresponding "nodynperm") mount option that will be intended
to make the client fall back to legacy behavior when setting
these modes.

This should be the last big batch of whitespace/formatting fixes.
checkpatch warnings for the cifs directory are down about 90% and
many of the remaining ones are harder to remove or make the code
harder to read.

When CIFS Unix Extensions are negotiated we get the Unix uid and gid
owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info
levels), but if the server's uids don't match the client uid's users
were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features
they still wanted).   The changeset patch allows users to override uid
and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid
specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs
client to Windows server).  This changeset also displays the uid
and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable).

Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after
"if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap
when he reviewed the patch).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
