This will be helpful to other network filesystems as well, and will allow the
cifs vfs to handle F_NOTIFY (directory change notification) and probably
leases (file open notification) and send them to Samba and Windows
servers (without this patch many fcntl operations can only be meaningful
for local filesystems).
