Doh, looks like I had assumed (wrongly) that this fixes the problem
reported here

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs&m=133460168320472&w=2

(mapping to a dfsroot and cd to a reflink returning "Object is remote"
or "Not a directory" error). I didn't have a setup to verify it too.

I notice that Steve has already merged this patch adding Cc to stable
and the Cc has to be removed before sending the pull request.
