The file_kattr structure now provides case_insensitive and case_preserving fields for this purpose, but CIFS does not yet report its case sensitivity behavior through this interface. Implement cifs_fileattr_get() to report CIFS/SMB case handling behavior. CIFS servers (typically Windows or Samba) are usually case-insensitive but case-preserving, meaning they ignore case during lookups but store filenames exactly as provided. The implementation reports case sensitivity based on the nocase mount option, which reflects whether the client expects the server to perform case-insensitive comparisons. When nocase is set, the mount is reported as case-insensitive. The case_preserving field is always set to true since SMB servers preserve filename case at rest. The callback is registered in all three inode_operations structures (directory, file, and symlink) to ensure consistent reporting across all inode types.
