My guess is that less than 1/3 of the cifs module would overlap - but
that overlap is enough that it would be easier to do smb2 as part of
cifs (although it would make the cifs module somewhat larger).

What about pulling out the common code into a helper module, which can then be used by both cifs and smb2?
