[2.6 patch] let CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL depend on EXPERIMENTAL

If users really remember that CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL does not enable anything
than it is probably a good idea -

There is a minor problem - ie that there are some features in CIFS that
with 2.6.14 out are no longer really experimental that need to be pulled
out of the ifdef.   I have a pretty big cifs merge to do, but I have no
real problem with your patch (we have enough time to add one or two more
cifs config options, clean up others)

It seems logical.

Note that CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL itself doesn't enable any code.

                 are highly experimental.  If unsure, say N.
