NFS-style symlinks have target location always stored in NFS/UNIX form
where backslash means the real UNIX backslash and not the SMB path
separator.
So do not mangle slash and backslash content of NFS-style symlink during
readlink() syscall as it is already in the correct Linux form.
This fixes interoperability of NFS-style symlinks with backslashes created
by Linux NFS3 client throw Windows NFS server and retrieved by Linux SMB
client throw Windows SMB server, where both Windows servers exports the
same directory.
Fixes: d5ecebc490 ("smb3: Allow query of symlinks stored as reparse points")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
