[2.6 patch] remove cifs_kcalloc

[Steven French]

Yes - In addition to fixing the kcalloc checks the 4 session setup routines
need to be collapsed into a set of smaller routines with common code.
Since three of the four of those routines are disabled by default, cleaning
up the session setup cases (better consolidating the NTLM vs. NTLMSSP vs.
SPNEGO RFC2478) has been put off.   Two of these four could shrink
significantly if Andrew Bartlett's suggestion of using ntlm_auth as a
helper function is chosen.
