[CIFS] Fix plaintext authentication
The last eight bytes of the password field were not cleared when doing lanman plaintext password authentication. This patch fixes that.
I tested it with Samba by setting password
encryption to no in the server's smb.conf. Other servers also can be
configured to force plaintext authentication. Note that plaintexti
authentication requires setting /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to 0x30030
on the client (enabling both LANMAN and also plaintext password support).
Also note that LANMAN support (and thus plaintext password support) requires
CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH to be enabled in menuconfig.
