This patch fixes an issue when cifs_mount receives a STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
error during cifs_get_tcon but is able to continue after an DFS ROOT referral.
In this case, the return code variable is not reset prior to trying to mount
from the system referred to. Thus, is_path_accessible is not executed and the
final DFS referral is not performed causing a mount error.
Use case:
In DNS, example.com resolves to the secondary AD server ad2.example.com
Our primary domain controller is ad1.example.com and has a DFS redirection set
up from \\ad1\share\Users to \\files\share\Users.
Mounting \\example.com\share\Users fails.
