Subject: [PATCH 4.14 60/63] cifs: allow disabling insecure dialects in the config

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steve French <stfrench@...rosoft.com>

commit 7420451f6a109f7f8f1bf283f34d08eba3259fb3 upstream.

allow disabling cifs (SMB1 ie vers=1.0) and vers=2.0 in the
config for the build of cifs.ko if want to always prevent mounting
with these less secure dialects.
