[CIFS] when mount helper missing fix slash wrong direction in share
Kernel bugzilla bug #9228 If mount helper (mount.cifs) missing, mounts with form like //10.11.12.13/c$ would not work (only mounts with slash e.g. //10.11.12.13\\c$ would work) due to problem with slash supposed to be converted to backslash by the mount helper (which is not there). If we fail on converting an IPv4 address in in4_pton then try to canonicalize the first slash (ie between sharename and host ip address) if necessary. If we have to retry to check for IPv6 address the slash is already converted if necessary. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
