[CIFS] NTLMv2 support part 5
NTLMv2 authentication (stronger authentication than default NTLM) which
many servers support now works. There was a problem with the construction
of the security blob in the older code. Currently requires
/proc/fs/cifs/Experimental to be set to 2
and
/proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to be set to 0x4004 (to require using
NTLMv2 instead of default of NTLM)
Next we will check signing to make sure optional NTLMv2 packet signing also
works.

Fix oops on ls to OS/2 servers. Add support for level 1 FindFirst
so we can do search (ls etc.) to OS/2. Do not send NTCreateX
or recent levels of FindFirst unless server says it supports NT SMBs
-(instead use legacy equivalents from LANMAN dialect).
