[PATCH v3] cifs: add ipv6 parsing

[PATCH v3] cifs: add ipv6 parsing

[Elijah Conners]

CIFS currently lacks IPv6 parsing, presenting complications for CIFS
over IPv6.

To parse both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the parse_srvaddr() function
was altered; parse_srvaddr() now returns void. To retrieve the IP
address from parse_srvaddr(), the parameters *out6 and *out32, an
in6_addr and a __be32 respectively, are provided. The value of
root_server_addr is determined by if those parameters are set or not.

The parsing in parse_srvaddr() was updated slightly. The character addr
can hold up to 46 characters, the longest a possible IPv6 address can
be. In the while loop, isdigit() has been replaced with isxdigit() to
account for letters present in IPv6 addresses, and *start is also
checked for being a colon. Finally, the function uses inet_pton() to
determine if the address is an IPv6 address; if so, *out6 is equal to
in6, set by inet_pton, otherwise, *out32 is set to in_aton(addr).

I addressed the whitespace issue in v2.
