[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH 11/11] cifs: add "multises" mount option

This allows someone to declare a mount as multisession mount.
Multisession mounts also imply "noperm" since we want to allow
the server to handle permission checking. It also (for now)
requires Kerberos authentication. Eventually, we could expand
this to other authtypes, but that requires a scheme to allow
per-user credential stashing in some form.
