cifs: fix dentry refcount leak when opening a FIFO on lookup
The cifs code will attempt to open files on lookup under certain circumstances. What happens though if we find that the file we opened was actually a FIFO or other special file? Currently, the open filehandle just ends up being leaked leading to a dentry refcount mismatch and oops on umount. Fix this by having the code close the filehandle on the server if it turns out not to be a regular file. While we're at it, change this spaghetti if statement into a switch too.
