Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0101/1017] cifs: do not skip link targets when an I/O fails

From: Paulo Alcantara <pc@....nz>

commit 5d7e282541fc91b831a5c4477c5d72881c623df9 upstream.

When I/O fails in one of the currently connected DFS targets, retry it
from other targets as specified in MS-DFSC "3.1.5.2 I/O Operation to
+Target Fails with an Error Other Than STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED."
