2.6.18 - default domain no longer null

When I fixed the session structure to no longer include a fixed size
domain name field (and instead allow it to be allocated on the fly) -
this caused the default domain (when not specified on mount) to no
longer be the empty string ("\0") and instead it was CIFS_LINUX_DOM with
the result that servers which are not domain controllers or standalone
servers or clients are confused by the non-existent domain. The
solution is easy, specify the domain name of the target server on the
mount (e.g."domain=myserversdomame") but I do plan to change the
behavior back to 2.6.17 behavior so it is less confusing
