Several SMB1 fallback and open responses do not provide the hard link
count. The SMB2 create-only query fallback has the same limitation.
These paths currently leave a zero link count or synthesize a value of
one and then expose it as authoritative metadata.
Mark those results with unknown_nlink so existing inodes keep their
cached link count and new inodes receive the usual sane default.
This was tested against Samba with "server min protocol = NT1". Mount
the share using SMB1 with Unix extensions disabled:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<share> /mnt/cifs \
-o username=<user>,vers=1.0,nounix
Create three names for the same inode and cache its real link count:
TESTDIR=/mnt/cifs/nlink-repro-$$
mkdir "$TESTDIR"
touch "$TESTDIR/file1"
ln "$TESTDIR/file1" "$TESTDIR/file2"
ln "$TESTDIR/file1" "$TESTDIR/file3"
stat -c 'before open: %h' "$TESTDIR/file1"
Open the file and read the link count through the open descriptor:
exec 3<"$TESTDIR/file1"
stat -Lc 'after open: %h' /proc/$$/fd/3
exec 3<&-
Clean up the test files:
rm -f "$TESTDIR/file1" "$TESTDIR/file2" "$TESTDIR/file3"
rmdir "$TESTDIR"
Before this change, the two stat commands report 3 and 1 because the
SMB1 open response overwrites the known link count. With this change,
both commands report 3.

contains_posix_file_info describes the metadata stored in the
fi/posix_fi union. GET_REPARSE and QUERY_WSL_EA do not update that
union, so clearing the flag while processing those responses can make
POSIX metadata look like FILE_ALL_INFORMATION.
Set the flag when CREATE or a validated query response actually
populates the union, and leave it unchanged for auxiliary compound
operations. This also avoids changing the type when a query fails
before copying any metadata.
The issue can be reproduced against a Samba server with SMB3 UNIX
extensions enabled:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<share> /mnt/cifs \
-o vers=3.1.1,posix,reparse=nfs,actimeo=0
mkfifo /mnt/cifs/test-fifo
umount /mnt/cifs
mount -t cifs //<server>/<share> /mnt/cifs \
-o vers=3.1.1,posix,reparse=nfs,actimeo=0
stat -c '%F %s' /mnt/cifs/test-fifo
Before this change, stat reports "fifo 1024" although the server-side
EOF is zero. After this change, it reports "fifo 0".
Fixes: 9df23801c83d ("smb311: failure to open files of length 1040 when mounting with SMB3.1.1 POSIX extensions")

cifs_open_info_data stores FILE_ALL_INFORMATION and SMB3 POSIX query
information in a union. reparse_info_to_fattr() selects a union member
from the mount mode, while several directory checks always read
fi.Attributes.
The metadata can instead come from an SMB2 CREATE response on a POSIX
mount, or from a POSIX query while processing a reparse point. In those
cases the mount mode and hard-coded fi accesses select the wrong union
member.
See the procedures below:
cifs_nt_open
smb2_open_file
SMB2_open
data->fi = SMB2 CREATE response
data->contains_posix_file_info = false
cifs_get_inode_info
reparse_info_to_fattr
if (tcon->posix_extensions) // true
smb311_posix_info_to_fattr
data->posix_fi // wrong union member
smb311_posix_get_fattr
smb2_query_path_info
smb2_compound_op
data->posix_fi = SMB3 POSIX query response
data->contains_posix_file_info = true
reparse_info_to_fattr
data->fi.Attributes // wrong union member
Add a common DOS attribute accessor and use contains_posix_file_info
both for attribute reads and for the final fattr conversion.
