smb: client: don't try following DFS links in cifs_tree_connect()
[ Upstream commit 36008fe6 ] We can't properly support chasing DFS links in cifs_tree_connect() because (1) We don't support creating new sessions while we're reconnecting, which would be required for DFS interlinks. (2) ->is_path_accessible() can't be called from cifs_tree_connect() as it would deadlock with smb2_reconnect(). This is required for checking if new DFS target is a nested DFS link. By unconditionally trying to get an DFS referral from new DFS target isn't correct because if the new DFS target (interlink) is an DFS standalone namespace, then we would end up getting -ELOOP and then potentially leaving tcon disconnected.
