[PATCH v2] CIFS: Print message when attempting a mount

[Rodrigo Freire <rfreire@redhat.com>]

Currently, no messages are printed when mounting a CIFS filesystem and
no debug configuration is enabled.

However, a CIFS mount information is valuable when troubleshooting
and/or forensic analyzing a system and finding out if was a CIFS
endpoint mount attempted.

Other filesystems such as XFS, EXT* does issue a printk() when mounting
their filesystems.

A terse log message is printed only if cifsFYI is not enabled.

Sample mount operations:

[root@corinthians ~]# mount -o user=administrator //172.25.250.18/c$ /mnt
(non-existent system)

[root@corinthians ~]# mount -o user=administrator //172.25.250.19/c$ /mnt
(Valid system)

Kernel message log for the mount operations:

[  450.464543] CIFS VFS: Attempting to mount //172.25.250.18/c$
[  456.478186] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation.
[  456.478381] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
[  467.688866] CIFS VFS: Attempting to mount //172.25.250.19/c$

v2: Created a loop to select the right cifs_dbg message to be printed,
    considering the current system's scenario, in order to avoid a
    duplicate message or stripping out important information in
    debug.
