Yeah, looks like this new Kconfig option depends on some code that's
under the (much-overloaded) CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL Kconfig option. I think
this patch needs some rework. The simple fix would be to make it
dependent on CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL, but that's rather icky since
CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL pulls in some rather broken stuff...
