Rajasi Mandal 1ef15fbe67 cifs: client: enforce consistent handling of multichannel and max_channels
Previously, the behavior of the multichannel and max_channels mount
options was inconsistent and order-dependent. For example, specifying
"multichannel,max_channels=1" would result in 2 channels, while
"max_channels=1,multichannel" would result in 1 channel. Additionally,
conflicting combinations such as "nomultichannel,max_channels=3" or
"multichannel,max_channels=1" did not produce errors and could lead to
unexpected channel counts.

This commit introduces two new fields in smb3_fs_context to explicitly
track whether multichannel and max_channels were specified during
mount. The option parsing and validation logic is updated to ensure:
- The outcome is no longer dependent on the order of options.
- Conflicting combinations (e.g., "nomultichannel,max_channels=3" or
  "multichannel,max_channels=1") are detected and result in an error.
- The number of channels created is consistent with the specified
  options.

This improves the reliability and predictability of mount option
handling for SMB3 multichannel support.
