(cc'ing Sean F. since I suspect this regression is due to his changes)

Thanks for the analysis, Martijn and Connor...

What sort of server are you mounting here? It looks like it's using
share-level security, so it's either very old or is a samba server
configured that way.

I suspect that commit c1508ca236 is the culprit. With that, we call
into expand_dfs_referral on every mount attempt. Previously we only
called into there when we got back  an EREMOTE error and that would
have been unlikely on a share-level security connection.

I think there are several possible solutions, but since Sean was in
here most recently I'd like to have his opinion.
