This set is a series of patches to fix several problems with
cifs.upcall. There are a few behavioral changes with this set:
1) nerf the "-c" option, which was just confusing for users. It now
tries to get a cifs/ principal first and then falls back to a host/
prefix if that fails. I think it's safe to assume that if a cifs/
principal exists then that's the one we'll want to use. If that's
incorrect, please let me know.
2) to get the hostname for the service principal, it now
reverse-resolves the IP address passed by the kernel. This makes the
code much less sensitive to the hostname used when mounting.
It also adds some cleanup to the code and some debug-level logging that
can be used for troubleshooting problems.
Review appreciated.
