[ Upstream commit cf4d35896621b7298eef51b7a465e5c0cb22f670 ]

When mounting with 'multiuser,posix' options, cifs_getattr() overrides
the server-provided uid/gid with the current process's fsuid/fsgid.
This is because the condition only checks for unix extensions
(tcon->unix_ext) but not posix extensions (tcon->posix_extensions).

With SMB3 POSIX extensions, the server provides real uid/gid values
just like with unix extensions, so they should be preserved rather
than replaced with the caller's credentials.

Add a tcon->posix_extensions check to the condition so that uid/gid
from the server are properly reported in stat results.
