smb3: add mount option to allow RW caching of share accessed by only 1 client
If a share is known to be only to be accessed by one client, we can aggressively cache writes not just reads to it. Add "cache=" option (cache=singleclient) for mounting read write shares (that will not be read or written to from other clients while we have it mounted) in order to improve performance.
