Title:
  update cifs-utils to 6.9

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In order to provide Ubuntu users the best user experience when
  accessing SMB file shares, including Azure Files, the following
  features from cifs-utils 6.9 release are needed:

  - mounting share snapshots with GMT token (currently only SMB 100-nanoseconds time is supported which isn't convenient and straightforward) and capability to list snapshots (through new smbinfo utility),
  - automatic DNS resolution on reconnect when the server IP changes (without the need to re-mount a share),
  - improved and fixed setcifsacl and getcifsacl utilities.
