smb: client: sync the root session and superblock context passwords before automounting
In some cases, when password2 becomes the working password, the client swaps the two password fields in the root session struct, but not in the smb3_fs_context struct in cifs_sb. DFS automounts inherit fs context from their parent mounts. Therefore, they might end up getting the passwords in the stale order. The automount should succeed, because the mount function will end up retrying with the actual password anyway. But to reduce these unnecessary session setup retries for automounts, we can sync the parent context's passwords with the root session's passwords before duplicating it to the child's fs context.
