CIFS: Add strictcache mount option
Use for switching on strict cache mode. In this mode the
client reads from the cache all the time it has Oplock Level II,
otherwise - read from the server. As for write - the client stores
a data in the cache in Exclusive Oplock case, otherwise - write
directly to the server.
