Yep, mea culpa. This patch should fix it. Martin, can you test it?
Anyone else have comments?

Thanks...

[PATCH] cifs: correctly handle NULL tcon pointer in CIFSTCon

Long ago (in commit 00e485b0), I added some code to handle share-level
passwords in CIFSTCon. That code ignored the fact that it's legit to
pass in a NULL tcon pointer when connecting to the IPC$ share on the
server.

This wasn't really a problem until recently as we only called CIFSTCon
this way when the server returned -EREMOTE. With the introduction of
commit c1508ca2 however, it gets called this way on every mount, causing
an oops when share-level security is in effect.

Fix this by simply treating a NULL tcon pointer as if user-level
security were in effect. I'm not aware of any servers that protect the
IPC$ share with a specific password anyway. Also, add a comment to the
top of CIFSTCon to ensure that we don't make the same mistake again.
