Folks with better > knowledge than me with this code may want to check on this? I don't think your changes would break it as well. The super is only used for providing cifs_sb_info::origin_fullpath as key to find the corresponding failover targets in referral cache. I can help you testing your changes with some DFS+multichannel failover scenarios.
