I guess absence of fscache would result in a different error than this
(perhaps invalid module format or something) and you won't be able to
successfully load smb2 module itself..

But, you could verify whether the smb2 module is loaded successfully by
doing
  lsmod | grep smb2

Also check dmesg output for possible errors..
