This patchset is simply a set of minor cleanup patches. Most of it is
in the command-line option parsing code, but there's also some error
handling cleanups.

These patches help lay the groundwork for the coming overhaul of
mount.cifs to make it safer to install setuid root.

Jeff Layton (10):
mount.cifs: clean up parse_server
mount.cifs: remove unneeded uname call
mount.cifs: simplify command-line option parsing
mount.cifs: remove bogus rsize/wsize options
mount.cifs: remove uuid option
mount.cifs: make check_mountpoint a noop for non-legacy builds
mount.cifs: fix error handling when duplicating options string
mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in main()
mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in mount_cifs_usage()
mount.cifs: don't use exit(3) in get_password_from_file

All 10 patches committed. I'll probably do a 4.1 release soon, prior to
the setuid overhaul.

Crap, I had sent in a patch to mount.cifs.c just hours prior to this.
We had discussed this back at the beginning of the year. Is the window
still open for patches?
