smb: client: fix native SMB symlink traversal

We've seen customers having shares mounted in paths like /??/C:/ or
/??/UNC/foo.example.com/share in order to get their native SMB
symlinks successfully followed from different mounts.

After commit 12b466eb52d9 ("cifs: Fix creating and resolving absolute NT-style symlinks"),
the client would then convert absolute paths from "/??/C:/" to "/mnt/c/"
by default.  The absolute paths would vary depending on the value of
symlinkroot= mount option.

Fix this by restoring old behavior of not trying to convert absolute
paths by default.  Only do this if symlinkroot= was _explicitly_ set.

Before patch:

  $ mount.cifs //w22-fs0/test2 /mnt/1 -o vers=3.1.1,username=xxx,password=yyy
  $ ls -l /mnt/1/symlink2
  lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Jun 20 14:22 /mnt/1/symlink2 -> /mnt/c/testfile
  $ mkdir -p /??/C:; echo foo > //??/C:/testfile
  $ cat /mnt/1/symlink2
  cat: /mnt/1/symlink2: No such file or directory

After patch:

  $ mount.cifs //w22-fs0/test2 /mnt/1 -o vers=3.1.1,username=xxx,password=yyy
  $ ls -l /mnt/1/symlink2
  lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Jun 20 14:22 /mnt/1/symlink2 -> '/??/C:/testfile'
  $ mkdir -p /??/C:; echo foo > //??/C:/testfile
  $ cat /mnt/1/symlink2
  foo
