CIFS: Retrieve uid and gid from special sid if enabled
New mount option "idsfromsid" indicates to cifs.ko that it should try to retrieve the uid and gid owner fields from special sids. This patch adds the code to parse the owner sids in the ACL to see if they match, and if so populate the uid and/or gid from them. This is faster than upcalling for them and asking winbind, and is a fairly common case, and is also helpful when cifs.upcall and idmapping is not configured.
