[CIFS] Can not mount with prefixpath if root directory of share is inaccessible
Windows allows you to deny access to the top of a share, but permit access to a directory lower in the path. With the prefixpath feature of cifs (ie mounting \\server\share\directory\subdirectory\etc.) this should have worked if the user specified a prefixpath which put the root of the mount at a directory to which he had access, but we still were doing a lookup on the root of the share (null path) when we should have been doing it on the prefixpath subdirectory. This fixes Samba bug # 5925 Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
