[CIFS] Endian convert UniqueId when reporting inode numbers from server files
Jeff made a good point that we should endian convert the UniqueId when we use it to set i_ino Even though this value is opaque to the client, when comparing the inode numbers of the same server file from two different clients (one big endian, one little endian) or when we compare a big endian client's view of i_ino with what the server thinks - we should get the same value Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
