[CIFS] NTLMSSP reenabled after move from connect.c to sess.c
The NTLMSSP code was removed from fs/cifs/connect.c and merged (75% smaller, cleaner) into fs/cifs/sess.c As with the old code it requires that cifs be built with CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, the /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental flag must be set to 2, and mount must turn on extended security (e.g. with sec=krb5). Although NTLMSSP encapsulated in SPNEGO is not enabled yet, "raw" ntlmssp is common and useful in some cases since it offers more complete security negotiation, and is the default way of negotiating security for many Windows systems. SPNEGO encapsulated NTLMSSP will be able to reuse the same code. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
