When the administrator mounts with forceuid or forcegid (uid=/gid=
mount options), they expect all files to appear owned by the specified
user/group. However, several code paths unconditionally called
sid_to_id() to overwrite cf_uid/cf_gid with server-provided values,
ignoring the administrator's explicit override:
- smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() (stat via POSIX extensions)
- cifs_posix_to_fattr() (readdir via POSIX extensions)
- parse_sec_desc() (CIFS ACL ownership mapping)
This allowed an untrusted server to dictate local file ownership even
when the mount was configured to force specific uid/gid values.
Fix all three call sites to check CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_UID and
CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_GID before calling sid_to_id(), following the
same pattern already used by cifs_unix_basic_to_fattr() for unix
extensions.

wsl_to_fattr() unconditionally overwrites cf_uid/cf_gid with values
from WSL extended attributes ($LXUID/$LXGID), ignoring the
administrator's forceuid/forcegid mount options. It also doesn't
initialize the uid/gid defaults, so callers that invoke it before
setting cf_uid/cf_gid (e.g. smb311_posix_info_to_fattr()) would
leave zeroed values when forceuid/forcegid is set.
Additionally, when UNIX or SMB3 POSIX extensions are negotiated, the
server already provides authoritative uid/gid and mode values through
the extensions themselves, making the WSL reparse point EA values
($LXUID, $LXGID, $LXMOD) redundant and potentially conflicting.
Fix this by:
- Initializing cf_uid/cf_gid to the mount-specified linux_uid/
linux_gid defaults
- Gating the $LXUID/$LXGID EA parsing on CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_UID/
CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_GID
- Skipping $LXUID, $LXGID, and $LXMOD EA parsing entirely when
UNIX or POSIX extensions are active (only $LXDEV is still
parsed for device major/minor numbers)
