Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] cifs: Validate content of native symlink

Check that path buffer has correct length (it is non-zero and in UNICODE
mode it has even number of bytes) and check that buffer does not contain
null character (UTF-16 null codepoint in UNICODE mode or null byte in
non-unicode mode) because Linux cannot process symlink with null byte.
