Some servers seem to mistakenly report different values for
capabilities and share flags, so we can't always rely on those values
to decide whether the resolved target can handle any new DFS
referrals.

Add a new helper is_referral_server() to check if all resolved targets
can handle new DFS referrals by directly looking at the
GET_DFS_REFERRAL.ReferralHeaderFlags value as specified in MS-DFSC
2.2.4 RESP_GET_DFS_REFERRAL in addition to is_tcon_dfs().

The new mount API requires additional changes to how DFS
is handled. Additional testing of DFS uncovered problems
with domain based DFS referrals (a follow on patch addresses
DFS links) which this patch addresses.

dfs_cache.c:591:2: warning: Argument to kfree() is a constant address
  (18446744073709551614), which is not memory allocated by malloc()
        kfree(vi);

In dfs_cache_del_vol() the volume info pointer 'vi' being freed
is the return of a call to find_vol().  The large constant address

Add an error check to dfs_cache_del_vol() similar to the one done
in dfs_cache_update_vol().

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
