Not totally unrelated because I noticed I had to fix the length
calculation when trying to get this particular ioctl to work, but it
is easy enough to break into another patch. Will do.

I could add the cifs ioctl as a followon patch but figured cifs was
lower priority because vast majority of current servers would have at
least smb2. Was trying to focus on the remaining missing ioctls and
fs info calls that SMB2/SMB3 should be able to make (e.g. verify
negotiate, copy offload, query adapter info etc.)
