* 2. Since we're in the context of adding a mount point, the end
* result should be either:
*
* a) a new tcon already allocated with refcount=1 (1 mount point) and
* its session refcount incremented (1 new tcon). This +1 was
* already done in (1).
*
* b) an existing tcon with refcount+1 (add a mount point to it) and
* identical ses refcount (no new tcon). Because of (1) we need to
* decrement the ses refcount.
