Calling 'ln -s . symlink' or 'ln -s .. symlink' creates symlink pointing to some object name which ends with U+F029 unicode codepoint. This is because trailing dot in the object name is replaced by non-ASCII unicode codepoint. So Linux SMB client currently is not able to create native symlink pointing to current or parent directory on Windows SMB server which can be read by either on local Windows server or by any other SMB client which does not implement compatible-reverse character replacement. Fix this problem in cifsConvertToUTF16() function which is doing that character replacement. Function comment already says that it does not need to handle special cases '.' and '..', but after introduction of native symlinks in reparse point form, this handling is needed. Note that this change depends on the previous change "cifs: Improve creating native symlinks pointing to directory".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
