Subject: [PATCH] doc: update mount.cifs man page with nounix option

Change since last post:
	- fix build error due to superfluous </para> tag.
	- ensure it builds fine.

Also add a section on INODE NUMBERS that discusses inode numbers more
thoroughly and add reference to it in "nounix" and "noserverino"
options.

Thanks to Jeff Layton for explaining those details.

+	problem. You can also use "noserverino" mount option to generate inode
