cifs: allow for larger rsize= options and change defaults
Currently we cap the rsize at a value that fits in CIFSMaxBufSize. That's not needed any longer for readpages. Allow the use of larger values for readpages. cifs_iovec_read and cifs_read however are still limited to the CIFSMaxBufSize. Make sure they don't exceed that. The patch also changes the rsize defaults. The default when unix extensions are enabled is set to 1M for parity with the wsize, and there is a hard cap of ~16M. When unix extensions are not enabled, the default is set to 60k. According to MS-CIFS, Windows servers can only send a max of 60k at a time, so this is more efficient than requesting a larger size. If the user wishes however, the max can be extended up to 128k - the length of the READ_RSP header. Really old servers however require a special hack to ensure that we don't request too large a read.
