    smb3: add support for stat of WSL reparse points for special file types · 2e4564b3
    Steve French authored
    
    
    This is needed so when mounting to Windows we do not
    misinterpret various special files created by Linux (WSL) as symlinks.
    An earlier patch addressed readdir.  This patch fixes stat (getattr).
    
    With this patch:
      File: /mnt1/char
      Size: 0          Blocks: 0          IO Block: 16384  character special file

    without the patch all show up incorrectly as symlinks with annoying "operation not supported error also returned"
