Description
There are rather a lot of existing cstyle issues in the SMB code; e.g., at least within:
common/smbclntlib/libsmbfslib/smbclntlib/smbsrvuts/common/fs/smbclntuts/common/fs/smbsrv
This code is quite modern and is actively maintained. Cleaning up the violations will make it much easier to avoid introducing new ones in the future. The violations are substantially whitespace-related, so it should be possible to clean up with no substantive change in the program text.
While cleaning up the style issues we should also make sure the code is smatch clean.

Some requests for whoever might take on this task:
- Please separate your SMB client and SMB server changes. (This issue is mostly about the SMB client, though there's some code in common between the two.)
- It's a LOT easier on us (the "down stream") when any cstyle cleanup (etc) can be done in a way that's mostly "diff -w" invariant.
- There IS an "up stream" for the SMB client code, which is Apple's SMB client. However, their code has diverged far enough from ours that we really only cherry-pick functions etc. from theirs. So, in code that comes from them, (there's an Apple copyright) please try to keep a "light touch" re. formatting etc.
