[cifs-protocol] [REG:110051856627810] Ordering of domain in case of DFS domain referral

[Hongwei Sun]

Matthieu,

  The randomness applies to all domains including local domain plus all other domains.  Let me know if you have more questions, otherwise I will consider this case closed.

Thanks!

Hongwei
