Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cifs: Add support for parsing WSL symlinks in version 1 format

MS-FSCC 2.1.2.7 for IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK reparse points currently
documents only layout version 2 format.

IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK reparse point buffer of layout version 1 format
is documented in the newly released Microsoft WSL source code at github:
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/2.5.8/test/windows/DrvFsTests.cpp#L775-L815

Difference between version 1 and version 2 is that version 1 stores the
symlink target location into data section of the file, but version 2 stores
it directly into the reparse point buffer.

This change implements support for parsing WSL symlinks in this layout
version 1 format by Linux SMB client and so allow to recognize these type
of symlinks like Windows WSL.
