The new optional mount parameter "acregmax" allows a different
timeout for file metadata ("acdirmax" now allows controlling timeout
for directory metadata). Setting "actimeo" still works as before,
and changes timeout for both files and directories, but
specifying "acregmax" or "acdirmax" allows overriding the
default more granularly which can be a big performance benefit
on some workloads. "acregmax" is already used by NFS as a mount
parameter (albeit with a larger default and thus looser caching).

nfs and cifs on Linux currently have a mount parameter "actimeo" to control
metadata (attribute) caching but cifs does not have additional mount
parameters to allow distinguishing between caching directory metadata
(e.g. needed to revalidate paths) and that for files.
Add new mount parameter "acdirmax" to allow caching metadata for
directories more loosely than file data. NFS adjusts metadata
caching from acdirmin to acdirmax (and another two mount parms
for files) but to reduce complexity, it is safer to just introduce
the one mount parm to allow caching directories longer. The
defaults for acdirmax and actimeo (for cifs.ko) are conservative,
1 second (NFS defaults acdirmax to 60 seconds). For many workloads,
setting acdirmax to a higher value is safe and will improve
performance. This patch leaves unchanged the default values
for caching metadata for files and directories but gives the
user more flexibility in adjusting them safely for their workload
via the new mount parm.

so we no longer need to handle or parse the UNC= and prefixpath=
options that mount.cifs are generating.
This also fixes a bug in the mount command option where the devname
would be truncated into just //server/share because we were looking
at the truncated UNC value and not the full path.
I.e. in the mount command output the devive //server/share/path
would show up as just //server/share

This and related patches which move mount related
code to fs_context.c has the advantage of
shriking the code in fs/cifs/connect.c (which had
the second most lines of code of any of the files
in cifs.ko and was getting harder to read due
to its size) and will also make it easier to
switch over to the new mount API in the future.
