cifs: Fix support for creating SFU socket

SFU sockets are natively supported by Interix 3.0 subsystem and also by
later versions. It is part of Microsoft SFU (Windows Services for UNIX) and
Microsoft SUA (Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications). They can be created
and existing (stored on local disk or remote SMB share) can be recognized.

SFU sockets are recognized also by NFS server included in Windows Server.
Windows NFS server versions since Windows Server 2012 uses new reparse
point format for storing new sockets, but still can recognize this old
format (also in the latest Windows Server 2022 version).

SFU-style socket is a regular file which has system attribute set and
content of the file is one zero byte.

These SFU-style sockets are already recognized by Linux SMB client.

But Linux SMB client is currently creating new SFU socket in different
format which is not compatible with all those SFU applications. Fix this by
creating new sockets in correct SFU format which would be recognized by all
SFU, SUA, NFS and existing Linux SMB clients.

This change affects only creating new sockets when mount option -o sfu is used.
